Bought new clutch kit. But don't have a part to complete it

I have a 1980 280zx n/a. I took my transmission out due to clutch fork damage. Noticing my clutch was wore out as well I bought a stage 2 clutch kit off eBay from All Clutch Systems (ACS) came with •fly wheel •pressure plate •clutch disc •release bearing. But! It's just a bearing, no sleeve for my fork to attach to. I've looked and looked for one. Bought a sleeve from Nissan on eBay that don't fit the bearing so I'm still screwed...
Has anyone else bought the same kit and had the same issue trying to find a sleeve??? This is the 350z conversion kit. Here is the link to the clutch

Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to ZDriver!
Sounds like you bought without doing research?

Have you measured the total height of the new flywheel and clutch vs the stock one? If it's the same, you should be able to use your stock throw out bearing and collar. If not, you will need to find a throw out bearing and collar to match the proper height.
