Jim,
Thanks for the info. I got my pilot bushing from D & D today (among other
things). I got a new stock Buick type pressure plate (spring type) with a
custom built disc to match up to my T5 transmission from our local clutch
rebuilding shop for $85. They had the pressure plate on the shelf and it bolts
right up to my stock Buick flywheel. I bolted everything together tonight and
it seems to fit fine. I didn't realize how much he clutch pressure plate arms
would draw down when I bolted it to the flywheel. Now as soon as I get my motor
mounts from TS I will drop it in the MG for a test fit.
