What else did I do today?
Installed the fulcrum bracket and spacer block in Shag's T5 bell housing. Because the T5 bell housing is a little longer than stock the fulcrum bracket needs to be move forward by the difference. Yes the fulcrum bracket you see is a 65/66. Though I have a 67+ fulcrum bracket available to use, the clutch fork and bellhousing that came out of Shag was a 65? WTF? And being that the fulcrum clip is 1/4th the cost of a clutch fork, I just got another 65/66 bracket. I can always swap to a 67/68 for the dimensions are the same. Only difference is how clutch fork is afixed to the bracket.
Anyhoo....for proper location of the spacer block I attached the throwout bearing, fork assembly to the snout of the tranny. Fastened the fulcrum/spacer block to the fork and it naturally told me where to mark the bell housing for drilling.
Once established, up onto the drill press went the bell housing and did another test assembly afterwards. WhooLah!!!
