Seats have been remade to SC standards by Craig Coombe, AWESOME work!

Vinyl = Check
Steel framed = Check
Bladder = Check

What a great job!
Will make the driving experience a way safer and improved seat time deal.

Gonna get to grinding.

Exclamation Well...

...it seems odd that if you have the correct parts there would be interference, Jeff. I would be concerned about weakening the bell by grinding on it - if that is what you are describing - especially if anything ever came apart inside.

Paul

Heard and understood. Problem is nobody makes a new clutch plate to fit original housing anymore, so no correct parts.
McLoed = N/A
Centerforce = Yes, big letter inside PKG "may interfere with Ford FE bellhousing"
Ram = Three finger and I was after std diaphram type

Many said I was mistaken only to find hmmm wierd.

It hits by say a 1/32" only by indent where clutch fork lives. I think it will be fine.... Other oprion is sell everything and buy a Z06...

Looking at carpet
Had swatches sent for a decision
Turns out, the black, Wilton Wool and my pick.
The grey Mercedes type. Also very nice.
Also learned unbacked allows for corners.

Tires still on the alloys but good fit
Gotta get the engine in.
