Peter May Engineering in the UK has roller bearing kits.  Kinda pricey, 53.50
Euros, but look to be very high quality.  They also have a hydraulic throwout
bearing kit.  Hmmm.....

1st motion shaft/pressure plate at one point in the arc, (theoretically, if
you are lucky). The right way to do it would be by eliminating the fork
entirely, and using an internal, concentric slave cylinder. Either that or
redesign the front cover and fork to function like the Datsun setup. I'd
consider making it, but I'm sure no one would be willing to buy them.
