I,m running a Lakewood scattershield and had to modify the bracket for z-bar(just drilled another hole for fitment)Getting the fork on the throwout bearing was fun due to small opening on s.shield.Quick Time also sells scattershields,from the looks of them they are smaller.I would have got one had I known about them.I also race my 73 Dart Sport 340,4 speed,8 3/4 4.10,s with Bears Performance axels(Canadian,Windsor Ontario)I have slide-a-link traction also a Centerforce dual friction clutch.Did I hear you say budget build?LOL
