Diaphram Pressure Plate and a T5
Another update - a buddy of mine told me that some clutch disks from his racing days were made with shims or spacers to move the center hub of the clutch disk closer towards the tranny or further way, depending as their combination needed. I will go back to the local clutch shop in Richmond and see what they have to say ..... he used a riveted center hub like I presently have ...
Here are some pics of the weld process - to me it looks like a stick weld and my buddy confirmed it saying it was probably a nickel plated stick rod with the flux removed from the outside of it and then used in a tig weld.
If these updates are not relevant to anyone, I will stop - they are kind of off topic but I thought they might be of some interest to those doing or thinking of doing a similar motor/trans combo or run into a similar situation ..... you can PM me with your comments if you like ....
