I also get the mondeo slave cylinder:
And try the pressure plate (CP5905-1) over the slave cylinder. But I'm not sure the cylinder is large enough for the clutch spring.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
I bought an AP racing clutch kit for my duratec/type 9 conversion (Raceline bellhousing).

Once the clutch is assembled the fingers will be flat, they should then sit on the thrust face of the release bearing OK.
yep i think itl be ok aswel

The main proble is getting the spacing correct, when we did this conversion using the kit available at the time (designed for use with the Pinto) the spacer was too short and popped the cylinder we have since had the spacer modified and it works brilliantly) this id fitted in a type nine to a silvertop zetec ap racing clutch etc No other problems
Hi - are you referring to the diameter being a concern?
If so it does look a bit on the edge. I don't think it's the Mondeo slave cylinder that's recommended. I recall something about the V6
version or a SAAB job but I could be wrong.

I think the main difference is the diameter but I'm not a expert on this since I've used a cable clutch.
The CP5905-1 is considered a flat spring cover and therefore strictly speaking you'll need a round faced release bearing surface. Have a look at
a Pinto clutch cover for an example of 'round spring fingers'.
Take a look at the following thread which is about the cable clutch setup but discusses the CP5905-1 and round vs. flat faced release bearings.

The SAAB bearing has a rounded face as opposed to the Mondy one which is flat see pic below
SAAB one is indeed used for flat fingers on the pressure plate
