I am curious as to what kind of clutch you are running? Seems to me that you have some serious pressure there! I guess when the new bracket comes tomorrow by UPS I will be modifying it or making a new one with some gussets!
well mad, thats the same problem im having, and im running a diaphram clutch thats supposed to only be a little stiffer than a stock clutch and i also have the overcenter spring removed (its just extra to push through thats not needed with a diaphram style pressure plate)...Ross sent me a new bracket with one extra hole under the starter- helped a little but not enough...kinda sucks that he's heard it from more than one person now and hasnt dont anything about it...makes me tempted to call him and ask him to make one...im thinking i just might try it actually
