I don't have the Saab part numbers, but if you check eEuroparts for 1990-1994 Saab 900 Turbo clutch parts, you will find complete clutch kits including the pressure plate in the $200-$300 range. A couple of words to the wise on this - if you are converting a 99 (or any earlier car) you will need to replace the 7 bolts holding the flywheel to the crank - the heads are thinner on the later bolts, and the earlier bolts will interfere with the clutch. Also, the old-style throw out bearing is no longer available, and in order to use the new-style TO bearing, you need to go the the new slave cylinder (just as well, because the old one is not available). So, what I did is replace the 7 bolts and then buy the complete later-style slave cylinder, TO bearing, and clutch kit. Admittedly, that is a $400 solution, but at least all the parts are available!
Good Luck,
Gary
