Upgrade would be a single mass M20b25 fly with an M20 clutch.  Otherwise just replace your clutch and reuse your dual mass M42 fly.  It's plenty strong enough for a stock M42.

Some m42's came with a single mass flywheel. Get one, and get it lightened if you want.
It\'s not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

I have a single mass flywheel, but you can't really take that much weight off of it.  It also uses a different clutch kit and flywheel bolts than the dual-mass flywheel.
