when changing a motor from a 1200 6v to a 1600 12v is it ok to mix a
200mm clutch and use the 1200 pressure plate.thats pretty much all im

There are no 200mm 1200cc pressure plates? They are all 180mm as far as
I know. In that case, no it's not advisable and I don't think it would
even mate.

There are other issues I don't think you're aware of.
See the 6V/12V conversion article on my web site.

Please read the 6V/12V conversion article on my web site.
There are a lot of issues you need to know about first.
The article has pictures as well.
