I have bored out a hard diaphragm thrust plate to clear a 5203 double row bearing's side seal. It is 17mm ID, so will need a bush made to fit the 5/8 shaft. It will go in my car at Xmas when I swap gearboxes.
Having said this, I put an orange dot clutch in my car 10 years ago with an RHP brand 7W5-8 current style bearing.
It is still fine, mind you I don't sit at the lights with the clutch in.
