Flywheel/Clutch plate - Series IIA

Does anyone know if it's possible to fit a 9.5" clutch plate and
pressure plate to a 1965 SIIa engine? I understand the later engines
(69-71) had the larger (originally Diesel) clutch plate fitted,
before they went over to the SIII which had the larger clutch anyway.

Is the flywheel different between 1968 and 1969, or can I fit the
larger clutch?

TIA

Only one part number for the flywheel, on the same page that has both
clutches listed, so it seems the flywheel is the same. However, there are
three dowels for the 9.5" clutch and two for the 9" clutch, so these would
need modifying, but it would seem from the parts book that the holes are
already there for either two or three dowels.

Wot he sez, you can either remove or grind off the dowel between the two
spare holes. You will need two dowels to fill the spare holes (Pt No 502116)
and you will also need the clutch cover with the centre boss on the spring
as the bell housing is deeper on the 2A than the series 3.
