Clutch fork throw
I have bought a 240mm clutch kit. I'm not sure of the difference in the collars.

Clutch fork throw
Current collar: 1.506" ( 38.25 mm) OA height 1.091" ( 27.7 mm) from the top to the milled flat So smaller than all 4 in post #130 If I went to the ZX collar I would theoretically gain 15mm. Making my stack up about 92mm. Does anybody have one? @Terrapin Z?

Interior roof and pillar trim
Started messing with this tonight. It takes a second to get oriented on how the header piece needs to be to clip the wind lace over it. Once I get this clipped in and like it I will trim it back some. Then I'm gonna glue the foam to the metal. Then glue the header piece to the front flange...

Looking for compatible sway bars for my L28 Datsun 240Z
What about your car makes you think it would be a problem?

Auction estimate $100,000 - $125,000 That would be really good ROI !!

Clutch fork throw
So I went to Cody's today and got some more pictures: I'm going to do all the math here at the top to keep it all together Fingers to the surface - 1.744" (44.3mm) Complete stack OA with old bearing - 3.305" (83.95mm) complete OA less ear offset - 0.415" (10.54mm) New bearing is 1.692" thick versus (42.98mm) The old bearing was 1.701" thick but probably lost a ten due to the bearing being backwards So that looks like 44.3 mm + 42.98 mm - 10.54 mm = 76.74 mm to the ears

I will reverse the bearing. It's bad anyway and noisey. I wondered if it was oriented correctly. I will make some better pictures

Zed, Im not sure I have the old parts. That's one problem. I thought I should verify the stack up height before we finished assemblyof the engine. Which is pretty far off. I believe the transmission is a 79 280zx 5 speed. I think we reused the collar that was in it, but not positive. Cody might remember. Im not sure how well it shifted before we rebuilt it. I know reverse was an issue but the idler gear was rough. So maybe it wasn't fully disengaging? I ordered the exedy to compare to the Luk. But even so, I don't know where I would expect to find 18mm?

Clutch fork throw
So I have a new issue with Cody's car My clutch stack up is only 74mm with the current collar to the ears I believe this is the measurement from the fingers to the flywheel. So about 44mm Luk brand clutch kit Now the throw out bearing fits down in to the clutch fingers some. So maybe it is installed backwards?? I thought I might have a smaller TOB collar but at this point I'm not sure. Even if I have the smaller one, the difference over the 4 types looks to only be 10mm. That's not going to get me to 92mm??

What is your system for figuring out where it all goes? I really struggle with that.

5 speed manual transmission identification
The R200 is a tougher unit. I might have an open 3.9 in the shop and if by some chance you came across an LSD R200 you would already be set up for it. I do not have the other parts you would need. Terrapin might have those
