Might be barking up the wrong tree here, but...
My old 2.8 SWB frontera had DMF that failed, I drilled through the 2 pieces and bolted in 6 places to make it rigid, then used a Trooper clutch with springs, as mentioned it was 15mm per side smaller in diameter, but happily worked.
The guys at Milners were very helpfull, opened a lot of clutches to make sure the parts were interchangeable, might be worth an ask, saved me a lot of ££ |

Doubt it... 
Any more info,pics of DMf etc,Ireally am struggling to get this bstard apart without wrecking it,and that's normally my forte
Any input would be most useful,it may end up as nowt for the 3.0,but its always worth a shot 
Cheers mate.

I'll have a dig for pics.
I found mine wasnt losing drive due to rotational movement, but vibration, the clutch wouldnt bite as the plate was rocking. |
