[DeTomaso] Techno question:Clutch&Slave II

[adin at frontier.net]

Good point, but I'm locked in now.

(and hope he meant it wouldn't go in, not was grinding - he didn't say  
grinding, did he?)


David, from the land of the Rockies?

>>
>> The -1 ZFs have a 1 1/8 inch diameter shaft with 10  splines.
