If you're wanting to keep it local...

I have a Yella Terra flywheel (steel) and a Repco single plate clutch in my car.

The flywheel came drilled for a couple of clutch diameters.

It was asserted by my build supervisor (brother) that 'modern clutches don't slip like they used to' in response to an out loud contemplation of a twin plate.

In my case my car came with an old 'long style' pressure plate so one sunny afternoon we took that along to the Frankston Repco and they pulled a new clutch & pressure plate - that was the same size - out of stock (11" from memory) [turns out brother & parts guy knew each other - in basically the same roles - from past jobs, so after the other parts were rounded up a 'haggling' exchange straight out of the market scene from Life of Brian was re-enacted '...$6.00 for a pair of dirty points?!..' etc]

Anyway - the clutch has held up despite occasional provocation
