Do I have a problem with My New Clutch ????

I have a 1959, 100-6, it came with two 3000 motors in states of dis-repair and what looks like 100-6 accessorys.
Both motors are 29K models with a low 6000 number. (BJ8's)
I ordered a clutch kit from Vicki B, for the 29K motor.
In checking the flywheel and the new clutch I find that the bolt pattern is the same, but I think the flywheel is for a 100-6. It has two metal alignment studs for the clutch housing. This fits the old spring type clutch housing. However the new diaphragm housing has a stud right by one of the joint or elbow looking things in the housing opening.
(sorry have no idea what its called) If this elbow/joint/knee thing moves it will hit the stud.
The diaphragm clutch housing is also 1/4 inch less from the flywheel to the top of the release plate, then the old spring type clutch housing. (Total width of the housing to relase plate)
Should I grind that stud down, bolt it together and not worry about it, or do I need a 29K flywheel, or a different clutch housing???
I have what I think is the newer transmission with O/D and the clutch plate fits the shaft without problems.
Thanks for your help.......

I do not know what you have. But do not alter any of the parts if they are correct they will fit right up.The diaphram "clutch plate" for the 29K BJ8 engine and 29F/4898 are the smallest of the lot having a diameter of 8".---Fwiw---Keoke

The bolt pattern and the size is the same, other then the 1/4 inch width difference. The only thing is the older spring type pressure plate used the two studs, and the studs do not line up for the diaphragm pressure plate?

BluMG, when the correct flywheel and clutch assembly are offered up, the flywheel dowels and the bolt holes should match.--Keoke
