I finally got someone at Clutch Masters who had half a brain, and was able to in almost no time give me the diaphragm thickness of their dual-disc clutch setup. And, as it turns out, it's 2mm too thick to work with my bellhousing.

I mentioned this to the tech on the phone, who said that they had a "short" pressure plate that might help. It cuts 3mm off of the stackup height. Success! So I'm $1,450 poorer, but I have what I believe is a clutch setup that will work. Which means I'm one setup closer to getting the car running.

I had a super successful run to the pick 'n' pull yard this past weekend as well and nabbed a few parts I need for the build. I'll post up more of what I got done this weekend when I'm home.
