Tilton Multiplate clutch for FD?

Anyone know of a shop that's familiar with using a Tilton in an FD with the stock transmission? Interested in a dual plate carbon/carbon (yes, I'm aware of the cost!) and purchasing one from someone who's already done the conversion once before. Thanks for any head's up info!

I have a twin Ceramic Tilton. rated for 700 foot lbs. I did it through unorthodox. They make a lightweight flywheel and use tilton disks, pressure plate, clutch slave cylinder T/O bearing combo. The setup is overkill for a 13b, but I'm using it on a 20b. You can slip the clutch and isn't too bad for drivability. I didn't take any pics of the clutch before install unfortunatly.

No modifications really, replace the clutch slave , arm , T/O Bearing with Tiltons Hydrolic T/O Bearing. You just need to fab 2 lines ( from Clutch hose to new t/o assembly and a bleed line).

Here is a couple pics i found for a supra. Basicly the same thing.

So it does away with the slave and engages/disengages with hydraulics?
