I am using the w58 box with a Tilton twinplate 7.5" clutch, hydraulic release bearing with a custom bush in the end of the crank, and the tilton Honda lightweight flywheel. The entire assembly weighs 14lbs.
Hey 7ish!! We have got to stop meeting like this or people are going to start talking!!
Do you have some pics, info and maybe a pattern for the hydraulic TO and the "W" trans plate? I've been trying to find something to work with for my W55, but all I can find are some blokes in the UK that won't cough up info unless I cough up $400 for the kit. Can't blame them, but it's not like I'm going to ruin their market!
I'm trying to get away with not using a external slave/fork/TO assembly. I'm using the W55 and std clutch arrangement for a 22RE mated to a VW plant. That side of it though is all Toyota! Got any hints or input on that set-up?
Cheers!

P.S. I work with a bunch of guys at the Moffat Plant there in Christchurch/Phillipstown. Do you know any folks over there? I know they are out in the iZone area now, but they used to be right downtown for 90+ years! Just thought I'd ask if you know anyone out there since I know a couple of them are die hard race fans!
