If you've already got a 5 plate crownwheel you can use either spiders with 6 plates
Will need to change springs may be GT ones and change top pressure plate to 2-2.5mm.
Surflex 5 plate plates & corks will fit, just need additional one.

LTH say the green ones are crap, they did some tests and a 5 plate clutch with green plates had less grip than a 4 plate clutch with Surflex B plates.
They rate the red ones though.
