Hah, you suck! I removed them from the present look probably due to all your badgering But I must admit, it looks much cleaner. Still a work in process but here is a shot:

Thanks. They were already done once but the body shop guys want to make a kit out of this so they redid them so they are perfect. I have a build up thread on the conversion here:

It's a pretty good probability they will offer a GB soon.

Ok I have a problem, I can't go into any gear when the motor is running. I think the fork might be bent but can't confirm until the motor is out. So do you think could be the problem?

I had that issue on my second gen and it turned out to be the pilot bearing had seized onto the shaft of the transmisssion.

If this is the case it would be hard to pull the motor out right? It will be Saturday before I can start the pulling of the motor.

It look like the pilot bearing are ok but the pressure plate has a big wear where the throw out bearing goes to it. I'm going to compare the fork tomorrow so why is there massive wear on one side of the pressure?
