Chris, how did you get the tape job so good on your hood, come and do mine. whistleegi please.


  clap2-*  Thanks Jack.  You have to use the cheap white tape and rush because it's going to rain!  lol.
I just run the tape across the hard radius corners and use a straight razor blade to cut the tape to the radius.  I wish I had a garage to play in I love to paint things.

a flywheel is referred to 180 & 200mm because its the size of the clutch not the flywheel.

Found out that the Split trany was indexed for the 180mm flywheel only. @%soapbox
I had a hell of a time trying to get the motor in by Myself.
So I grabbed a Drill and 3" x 2" drum sander and went to town.
 
I prob. took off 1/16 or more at the bolt holes and at the starter.

Found out that when you hit a steel bolt that causes a spark the trany shavings will flash.
INSTANT fire starter.
 @campfiresmiley Water didn't help the problem and I wasn't about to use the air gun untill it was out!  1!bomb

I did a very stupid thing by Hammering a 1 1/8 scoket on the crank bolt it was the only thing I had that was Close.
 

All that is left is the horn and some fuel line and hooking up the voltreg and coil.

Cheers

Now I'm woundering if I should have changed out the throw out bearing?

This is the new pressure plate I put in. Will these work together? :confused04:;

 clap2-* Installed a new Empi shifter in the bug.   Like a new car.  No guessing which gear I'm in.  I can actually downshift now.


  FYI... Glen had the motor out of his Buggy faster than I installed the new shifter!

Glenn, I was looking for a clutch for you in the garage but turned out to be 3 of the new type I have.

While I was looking for a clutch I FOUND MY CAMP STOVE 1banghead7&  it was behind my creeper.
