71 rebuild

A bit more work done over the weekend.
I am fitting a Centerforce dual friction clutch, the pressure plate is fitted with a centrifugal weight system. The idea behind it is to add more clamping pressure at high rpm. Since I purchased it I have heard heaps problems with them on different forums. There are vibration issue because the weights get stuck and do not throw out evenly. They recommend removing the weights which solves the vibration problems. I don't want any vibration issue and have to remove the gearbox again so I remove the weights.
I had to check the concentric slave cylinder cushion clearance before bolting the gearbox up to the engine. The acceptable range is anywhere between 0.125 and 0.375 thou. I am using quite a thin flywheel so though I might have to shim the bearing out. Even with this flywheel it measured at 0.325 thou which still is in range.
I currently have the gearbox bolted up to the engine. I just need to remove the shifter tower and its ready to slip back into the car.
I am back to work tomorrow morning so will do this when I return next week.
I have also fitted the rear lighting, bumpers and fuel tank back in the car.

Good to know your CSC was in tolerance. I still haven't finished sorting mine out, mainly because I got sidetracked on another little project on a different car.
Random question: where's the bleed nipple on the CSC?
