In my opinion there is a much better alternative to all this stuff.
Herman Van Den Akker is now producing a Hydraulic Throwout Bearing
for Triumph transmissions. An offshoot of his HDVA 5 speed
conversion.
This eliminates ALL of the mechanical parts, and works much better
than the original set up.
He uses a McLeod bearing ... these folks supply to many racers ...
drag, NASCAR, etc. so a continual supply of parts should not be a
problem, if you google mcleod bearing you will find the Summit site
that carries them if you need more info. I have had one in Casper
for three years and it works Great! Not sure of the cost ... just
contact Herman ...
