Paul, there's a lot already written on this if you trawl the archives....
A genuine Volvo clutch is stronger than a lot of others.
Techniclutch may offer an uprated one- they did advertise them on Ebay a year or so ago. They could probably still sort one out for you.
But with a normal Rich mod, a standard genuine Volvo one will be fine.

DON'T Fook about get your clutch and take a friction resurfacing company average price for racing compound and 1mm thicker if you want is approx £30 and getting the spring uprated and reconned is about £50.
i told them on here this years ago but some people don't have the balls to spend £25 like i did and had 30,000 hard throttle milage before i scrapped the car.
