[Tigers] Throwout Bearing

Duke,
 
>From your pictures, it looks like that bearing will work. The smaller  
original Tiger bearing ran with a clearance when the clutch was engaged so that  
it wouldn't wear out. The Mustang bearing is designed to run continuously 
with  about 10 lb of preload. That is enough pressure to keep it from 
slipping on the  fingers but not enough to cause it to wear out.  This was done to  
reduce petal travel and allow the self adjusting mechanism of the Mustang  
to work.

I ordered a "Heavy Duty" TOB from a Mustang supplier.  It is  much 
"heavier" that the TOB
 I removed from the Tiger.My only concern is the  larger diameter and use 
with the Centerforce pressure  plate.
