Why does nobody but mazworx sell an adapter plate? There is money to be made here. I for one would prefer not to have my bell houssing cut to use an adapter. Has anyone found anything yet? If I had a CAD layout a could get these flying off the assembly line.

argh.

The problem is if you don't machine some of the bellhousing off you need a spacer to move the flywheel out to suit. I have a 1/4" adapter and needed a 8mm spacer to get it to even sort of work. The clutch release fork needs to traval nearlly all the way to the end of it's travel to get the clutch to release. I needed to extend the slave cylinder arm thing to even make it work.

If I have the gearbox off again, I will get some meat machined off it.

extend the thrust bearing carrier as i did. Extend to the same thickness of the plate, if the plate is 15mm thick extend the thrust bearing carrier 15mm

Does any one have a picture of the engine and shifter placement using their kit? Their site doesn't have any.
