These are stock 9 1/8 clutch disc cores that I use.  They are stock 
thickness, so, yes, they will fit everything. I even have  available a
metalic - 
Feramic disc on a corvair center. No chatter but it REALLY  hooks up hard
and has 
high wear on the flywheel and PP. The Fibre Tuf will out  wear a stock disc
3 to 
1 and if they get oil soaked, they are cleanable!
    The cost is $155 for either plus a $25 core, or  send your core first. I

can do CC, pay pal, check, or MO, even cash  sometimes!

What are  the absolute best, tried and true clutch  components needed to
eliminate  almost completely the dreaded clutch  chatter problem in FCs?  I

have
heard words like "vega" and  others tossed around.  Anyway, when  Jeff's
crew
fixes the diff,  cleans up the engine compartment and puts in a  new clutch,
I
want  no more clutch chatter.  What is the right  combination?????   Please
respond if you   can!

IMO,  it is not so much the components that are used  in an FC but how  
rigidly the engine is mounted and how the clutch cable is   mounted.
Stock components work just fine. I do not like  the  Spring Center disc, 
it is not made for the Corvair. Some will  say that, the  spring center
cured

the problem, but probably what  happened is they surfaced the  flywheel, put
in a 
rebuilt PP and  that is the #1 causes for chatter. 
If you want life out of a  disc then you need to get  my Fibre Tuf disc, 
shameless plug, made on  a CORVAIR center. I have never had a  hint of
chatter 
out of it  even when it was oiled down.
If you don't already have one  you will get a bolted  flywheel. I hope.
Food for  thought.
