I am at the stage of needing a new clutch this weekend to complete the 1275 swap. It will have to be a standard 1098 clutch. Anyone know the best / cheapest place to get one from pls?

Which engine/flywheel do you have? The 1098 clutch will not fit the standard Midget 1275 flywheel.

If the pattern ones are no good then I'll go for original quality - It has to handle the power of my 1275 after all :-)

The borg and beck clutches are still available new, they just come on a red box now. But they're the same tooling and quality.

And they are called AP Drivelines or something like that.
