[Fot] TR6 Throwout bearing wanted

[Jason Ostrowski]

I’ve used the AP, Tilton and Quartermaster dual disk clutch set in several cars over the years. 
They all utilized either a  stock TR6 or stock GT6 through -out bearing. 
Both worked well. 
The GT6 one is smaller and lighter.

AP still makes all the parts; seems to be similar to the Quartermaster 7.25 sintered clutches.   Try looking at AP racing release bearing options here, along with some engineering diagrams of some options for you:

The challenge is the throwout bearing - I’ve included photos of the current one I use and a new replacement I picked up.  The QM pressure plate needs something smaller in diameter than the new replacement.  If I could find one that’s more like what I have, it would work - ideally the contact surface is even closer to 2” in diameter.
