I think he's using the scoupe turbo (1.5) Clutch and pressure plate.

Beta Swap Shop use to sell them, but I don't think they do anymore. You will probably have to make one yourself or have it made.

It would depend on what a fab shop would charge you. Basically you can cut off the round part of your mount and weld on a piece of square stock and drill some holes. It's pretty easy, but it'll have to be made with the Beta sitting in the car to get the measurements from.

Your trans will work, but you'll need a 1.6l Accent clutch & pressure plate and the 2.0l flywheel.
I have heard that the 1.5l Accent clutch does not work, but I don't know the specific reason why. The 1.5l Scoupe Turbo clutch also works.

I used the scoupe turbo clutch. The 1.5L accent clutch will NOT work. Its smaller than the flywheel. With using the scoupe clutch you will not be able to use the throw out bearing. (Diff type). You need a throw out bearing that work with the tranny, which is a 1.5.
Im not sure on how or the diff between the 1.6 clutch and the scoupe clutch. I just know what worked for me.
