The flywheels won't interchange. The 2000 has 12 bolts, the 1600 has 6 and the
L-16 has 5. The bolt pattern for the clutch covers is the same.

But as Pete pointed out, the 2000 clutch has a higher clamping pressure than
the 1600 (either R-16 or L-16/L-18/L-20b). They were all 200 mm diameter on
the disk. The L-24 (240-Z) and Z-22 used a 225 mm disk, IIRC.

The main reason 2000 clutches remained available for so long was because the
510 guys were using them as upgrades from the stock 510 clutches.
