Yarwood knows, he's in England (hence all my problems with this cam) I was
going to say I'd get it for you off my clutch, but I have the Quaife box
hooked up to that clutch, and I think it's the 23 spline.

Subject: clutch disc

does anyone know the part # for a single disc 7.25 Quarter Master clutch
disc that fits standard TR4 input shaft? Ive been stuggling trying to
contact Quarter Master. On an old subject I did e-mail apple hydrolics
asking how they tested there shocks. they simply stated they tested them. 
when I inquired if they might be interested in testing used race shocks I
got no reply. and no answer how they were tested. Jeff
