Looking around online - I see reference to exactly the needed dimension for the 911, at 22.5mm. I believe in fact this probably also applies to the 924 Turbo clutch, since there's commonality with the ...

Looks like Ciprian's flywheel was the wrong one... anyone else have a spare Turbo flywheel laying around and can measure?
