Would this rear C pillar bar configuration be legal with a six point bar?, or would the C bar need to be straight.

Jim,  nice clutch setup... Is that the one that does not use a flywheel, rather it uses a FLEXPLATE (automatic style)  ?  How does that HTB adjust?  Shims ?  I assume that the hyd. lines are 4 AN ?

I have a Tex Racing Super T 10 and would like to use a Quarter Master duel disk set up like yours (lighter than a traditional clutch, pressure plate and flywheel set up)  I do not have a bellhousing either,,, I run automatics now,, am building the 53 Stude with the 4 speed, so all prts must be purchased,, nothing laying around here that I can use...

Thanks

Charles, the Quarter Master uses a profiled flywheel. The HTB for my car bolts to the transmission and can be shimmed if necessary to keep clearances within spec. It can use both OEM or -4 lines as adaptors are furnished for both. Quarter Master make some pretty cool set ups for the V8 stuff. I'd call Jeff Weigert at Quarter Master and he can dial you in.

thanks  I am taking next week off to do some fine tuning on my Vicky for Maxton (maybe chassis dyno).. I will call Quarter Master and have them spec out the parts I need.

Nice car,,, hope to see it run sometime...

The cage photos are from Tom Powell's car. We are finishing it up and hope to deliver it late next week. I'm thinking of installing a six point bar as I figure 175 MPH with a daily driven car is on the outer limits of what I would like to run. If everything comes together we should be ready to go by the end of July and have a month or so to sort things out. Jim

Charles FYI: After measuring the clutch and flywheel for reference, I discovered the six cover bolts were actually short by roughly four threads into the flywheel insert for full engagement. I replaced them with #1305 22 NAS bolts and used the same AN washers that came with the kit. This allowed full thread engagement with the insert in the flywheel. I also used four grade 12.9 hex head cap head screws with AN washers to replace the supplied bolts for the hydraulic throw out bearing. While not a necessity, I decided to upgrade the fasteners at this time to benefit from the strength and thread engagement.



NAS bolts installed / Grade 12.9 hex head cap screw, MAP kit bolt, Quarter Master supplied clutch cover bolt, #1305 22 NAS bolt
Note: the NAS bolt has the proper grip and thread legnth.

Nice to see another import, hopefully Reichen and myself will be out there when you make it. We where headed to the Maine race next month but personal stuff has came up and we have canceled the trip.  Your goal is 175?

This year I just want to get my feet wet and learn as much as possible. I'm not expecting any miracles, I just want to get my chance to run.

Mike,

I kinda like the parking stop.  Pull in until you bunk the red/aluminum thing and stop.  Perfect parking.  Most people use a tennis ball on a string.
