Yes. No real reason to change the clutch if it's working well. Might change the disc out just 'cause you're in there anyway. If the whole setup is tired, stock replacement for your car is fine. Doubt they're 1300-specific parts available any more, anyway. Factory 1600 parts would be more than fine. Unless you have goals we don't know about.

Man, if I could drive over there - I'd buy that L13 of you in a flash....

Damn oceans and all!

Keep us posted on the build.
