ok, starting to figure this out(thanks to Nick at Wild Horses!!!)
my main issue...im running a diaphragm style pressure plate made for a hydro bearing. but im using a mech bearing.
the stock 3 figure pressure plate doesnt match the bolt holes on the fly wheel im running(which WH's recommends part # NFW 1128-O'rileys)
bolt spacing on 3 finger is 3", bolt spacing on diaphragm pressure plate is 3.250"(which is what the 1128 FW has)
the cheap option would be a 50oz FW that accepts a 3 finger style pressure plate. cant find that tho! plus a FW is about $60.
or order a new style diaphragm clutch designed to work with mech throw out bearing($200!!!)
and lastly...take the FW i have to a machine shop to have it modified to work with the older style 3 finger(dont know a cost for that)
