Re: Hydraulic Clutch conversion

I have been working on the access cover for the clutch fork. How much of a tolerance should I be looking for. Right now the clutch fork operates forward and rear just fine, but with 1/64 tolerance from the clutch fork to the top & bottom of the casting. I would need 1/4" total to allow for the gasket due to the thicker clutch fork that came with the kit. My other option would be to take the arm to my local fab shop and have them dimple the fork or take more off the bellhousing. Any suggestions on which avenue is best? The OEM fork is 1" & the Novak fork is 1 11/16"

I would like to mock it up on the trans w/complete clutch/flywheel assembly to see if it rubs any. I would like to be able to use the clutch fork gasket to keep rocks & crap out of the bellhousing is the ultimate goal here.
