63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)
Hey JD, The aluminum plate in the pic was just for mocking up the "plate", it will be steel, but thickness? I really don't know how thick it should be. The firewall does contribute some considerable strength? So, maybe just 3/16? The tubular spacers~ Thank you for that idea :thankyou: ! That's been bugging me.
The clutch rod angle? I don't know what it is, is the firewall untrue? you see that it takes at least 1/4 in the right spot to bring the cmc into alignment. So depending on which picture you see, it could be off a tad, or just an illusion, or play on vision, and seems like most pictures I take, the pics come out a tad distorted. In the picture you can just make out what it takes to bring the cmc into good alignment. I have found sheet metal shims, kind of like the shims you get at Lowes for woodwork. I mentioned a far out idea of pushing strategically(guessing) with my porta power and push it out, but may wind up worse off. or maybe just a good whack with a block of work to lessen that gap. Whether it be shims, beating it, it will be "fixed";)
I had been thinking the idea of an external slave cylinder(not everyone would want to pull their transmission), just looks like nothing would work. I'll elaborate more on this a little later.
My setup is kind of working at this point, the most important thing now, install a throw out bearing, it will disengage the clutch like it's supposed to, may drag a bit, or not work at all. Even though Jeff is giving me 10% off, it's still almost 400 bucks and I don't get to return it like on Amazon.
Other: My 67 Mustang has the hydraulic setup, Mcleod slave, and releases about 1" from the floor~ never could get it any higher.
thank you for the questions :thankyou::thankyou::thankyou::thankyou:
