[DeTomaso] For those who like engine builds

For the street, what are the advantages of the dual-disk clutch, who carries
this one for the Pantera and approx.. how much are they.  I now have a
single-plate 3-finger McLeod that is much heavier than the diaphragm
Centerforce I used to have, and I miss it.

Finally got around to unpacking one of my spare clutches.
It's a dual disk McLeod that was rebuilt by them.
I have a 'racing' version in the race car.
I also have a backup street version and another race version.

The race version is certainly more 'digital'. It's engaged or it is not. The
street version has a band that ties the two plates together so they don't
rattle.
That's what you see in the picture.

yours is an updated version taking the build to a higher lever. I would like
to see you include pics of the sexy clutch pressure plate arrangement that
you are running as well.
