[DeTomaso] Ring bolts (again)

[thomas]

I've received multiple replies from owners successfully using the Centerforce DF700000 clutch, which uses the standard bolt pattern. Some also use it with a Fidanza aluminum flywheel, so I've decided to go that direction.

I believe it was you who said the McLeod clutch needed a special throw out bearing and possibly also shimming, and I don't need any additional complications now. :)

Cheers,
Thomas

     So I will get a new Centerforce DF700000 clutch, which mounts to the
     factory drilled holes, and that should be the end of this problem.

   Maybe a Mustang clutch might, but then you run into the clearance
   problems etc.
   If you're going to replace your clutch, I'd highly recommend getting a
   McLeoud diaphragm (Centerforce-style) clutch which DOES bolt right to
   the stock bolt pattern....
