This weekend we pulled together all of the new parts we purchased to refurbish the clutch. Everything between the engine and the transmission is new: starter, block off plate, pilot bearing, flywheel, clutch plate, pressure plate, release bearing, and clutch fork.
We remounted the old exhaust headers so we could attach the engine hangers. We removed the engine from the engine stand and started adding cutch parts. Except for a hammer-smashed thumb (mine), this went smoothly. Next it was time to lift the 50+ pound transmission and hold it with millimeter precision while pushing it through all of the clutch parts towards the engine. It was as hard as it sounds, but it is done!
We also completed the modifications to the firewall needed to install the air conditioner. I didn't take a picture of it before tearing it back down, but you can see the hole created in the firewall anticipating the re-install once the engine is in.
One last shot of the kit for this week. We continue pulling pieces out of boxes and bolting them on. It's only a matter of time before we run out of boxes! Til next time...
