Default Toploader Oil Leak.. Help !

Hello.

First, I’m french and I'm sorry but it’s very difficult for me to explain my problem in english !

I own a Kirkham Cobra powered by a Shelby 427 FE Side Oiler (strocked to 482ci, and prepared by Keith Craft Racing). The gearbox, a Ford Toploader 4 speed, has been provided by David Kee.

I have many problems with the clutch and especially with the hydraulic throwout bearing, the centerforce, the seals and gaskets....!!

- I have some leaks to the throwout bearing
- Since I change my clutch (Mc Leod plate #360821, Mc Leod disc #260863, Mc Leod steel flywheel #463215 ) the centerforce is not really appropriate
- Yesterday I also noticed a significant oil leak under the car. I think it comes from the front of the gearbox (sealing problem at the hydraulic throwout bearing ?).

I think I have to change the centerforce, seals and gaskets on the hydraulic throwout bearing and the gearbox... but I do not know where to order parts ( no response from david kee).

Could you please help me ?
Thanks
