Moving along nicely.
Great of friends to help you out with a few pieces.

Now get off this site before the wife catches you. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]

&quot;Popped out a couple more bushings, just used a press with a cup under the control arm, two slices of pipe to prevent the arm from collapsing, and a turned down shaft to push out the bushings:-)&quot;

This is the way I have always done it -- work good, go long way! TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I have clutch on the brain, I priced out a few and nearly choked.

So I though..... what did Al and his daughter put on the engine that they bought to get the car going again? I hadn't pulled the bell-housing off till tonight. BINGO!!

Good clutches aren't cheap but if you plan to race it spend the money and get one that will hold and last.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

I agree 100%

I would definitely send in your flywheel to your engine builder and have it resurfaced. Use all new hardware.

This clutch will be perfect for my goal of getting the. Ar back on the road in a very street friendly drivers in combo.

I will have the flywheel dressed during the engine rebuild, and all new fasteners for sure.

I think a bronze pilot bushing is better that the bearing I see in both cranks.

Need to check and restore the fork, and bell housing.

What a nice surprise:-)

I would think the flywheel was resurfaced already, then never used, from what I see.
Probably just clean off the surface rust.
