Which SD1 clutch kit to get Self centering or non self cent?

[DamianZ28]

Going to be starting the gearbox swap in the next few weeks, really not sure what type of clutch kit to use, Box sd the LT77 SD1 5pd G23A numbers, engine is the SD1 V8 # 10A4088A, I don't have the old plate or pressure plate. I see there is a Non self centring and Self centring versions, does it matter which is used?
Heres a pic of the release bearing, only has 55k but there is a tiny bit of play, is that normal?
Cheers Damian

Rule of thumb is always replace the throwout bearing with a new clutch. In fact, you'll find that most clutch covers are not warranted if you don't.

Of course, Rover has to be different and the P6 gearbox is an outlier with a "remote" bearing that rarely wears out, but that's not your situation.
