Mid plate mounting, with chev bellhousing/clutch
Ok
anyone that has done it could you please fill me in on a couple of pointers that have me stumped at the moment.
main problem im having is the thickness of the plate, if i keep it to 10mm i can get away without spacing the flywheel back (i want to avoid this at all costs)
I can up size the plate to 16mm and just machine down the area where flywheel runs thats not a problem.
my problem exists that i need to run countersunk bolts as the flywheel passes over the std mazda bolt pattern.
see Tim Mcamis mid plate
now the only problem exists at the two dowels on the back of the block, i can get enough meet on all the other bolt holes but with these two its pushing it and you get *** all meet on mid plate.
I can get away with drivers side dowel if i just drill open the rear end plate and run a stud in the mid plate, but the passanger side im stumped.
the only option i can come across is shorten the dowel and deal with the fact its clamping on about 2-3mm of alloy :|
Anybody done it?
Thanks
