Greg, here 'tis, I'll leave it un-coded so you can copy it directly ......
http://www.hemiperformance.com.au/store ... Clutch-Kit

But I'm the honest sort. So, as recent (mileage wise) projects, I have no long term input as yet.
Thus ......

First, their t/o bearing is too large in I.D. for a stock carrier. You'll either need their carrier, a stock bearing, or to turn a press-fit bushing.
I'm using stock bearings in both cases. So far, so good.

I have one season on the one in the 'Brick, but she's only 1400 lbs on 6" bias ply street hides (our HA/GR class rules), and a dedicated strip car. This year'll be her second season. That said; so far, so good.

I now have about 4 hrs on El Toad's conversion, and it's just starting to settle in and smooth out (a bit choppy initially).
The jury's also still out on the arm & pivot (as noted earlier) mods needed for the different finger height position.

Lastly, I ran into some annoyances in dealing internationally. I had to wait for Hemi Performance to notify me that my card had refused payment, call my card people and have them clear the individual transaction, then let H/P know to re-submit the bill.
This rig-a-ma-roll went down the same on both orders, and is promised not to change, but may just be my particular card company or card status level.

I can say, in both cases, that I feel the stronger linkages to've been quite necessary.
I can also say that they're already an early improvement over the Spec unit I fought with for 3 seasons.

I wonder if a 70's dodge truck with the 11" clutch TOB be the "bridge" part for this...

OK, Dan, here's the re-loaded BBD conversion set link at Flickr.
I added a couple of the cool air mod to the end as well.
I'm leaving the link un-coded here for easier copying.

Passed 700 street miles last week. Still early of course, but so far, so good.
Even have about 60 mi of it pulling the HAMBster & trailer (roughly 1800 lbs together).

Thanks.
I went from 3.23's to 2.92's a couple years ago, and switched to 26" rear hides last year. Seems to be panning out as the best combo for my usage.
