Hey Guys
Well got her out and back in, put the cone pressure plate in and it works fine.
But I discovered that the Hydraulic throw-out bearing made by Howe Raceing Enterprises and sold by Speedway Moters has a Enginering flaw. the hose fitting has threads for a 4-AN fitting BUT the seat is cut at 45 deg. AN fittings are cut at 37 deg. I went to 3 sorces for hyd line 2 large west Coast Raceing parts houses and a industral cluch and brake house. all said this fitting is a custom built one-off. Speedway online catalog calls for a 3-AN line not even the right size. 2 of my freands are useing this same bearing they said they had trouble too. ended up useing a conical seal in the fitting to get it to seal.even the west coast dealer for Howe did not have any parts or anwsers. in the instructions Howe says to use a #4 flex line ( kind of a open description) Speedways new racing catalog calls for a 4-AN and a 1" master cyl. the outher catalog calls for a 3/4 master cyl. same throw-out bearing My guess at this time is Howe is passing off some R&D parts not ready for standardized public use. OR they have their heads up their butt. on monday I'll give them a call. I'm very happy how the car runs,handels and the over all feel. it has a little bump steer I guess more like a slite vibration, I expected a little bump steer because I could not aline the caol steering. I better go my spelling is going to hell. windsheld and windwings are next then on the road. have a nice weekend Guys Doug
