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. https://www.flickr.com/photos/9255485@N ... 155758880/ |

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. |
