B in B,
Thanks for your reply. Vern did not do the installation. I have done virtually all the assembly of my car. My checkbook is quite slender compaired to most Cobra owners, and hence, I perform all the work myself. I quit smoking 9 months ago and I've been buying little gifts for myself as a reward. The new Tilton TOB is just one of these gifts. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I've had the tranny out of the car twice before for clutch/pressure line/pressure plate problems before and I'm just not real excited about jacking this bugger a foot off the floor and crawling around beneath it. I've called a local hot rod shop: Slim's Collision and Rod Shop. I spoke to one of their mechanics and he was familiar with Cobra Replicas and hydraulic TOBs etc. I have to go to the same place for a front end alignment so I figured they might as well do the clutch work anyway. I told the mechanic I would hang around to answer any of his questions and assist if necessary. . . we'll see how it goes.

It seems every time I read more replies, I have more questions. . . so here goes,
Would it be prudent to have another clutch disc ready to install? I'm not exactly sure what failed i.e.: pressure lines, fittings or seals, so if the clutch disc has been showered with brake fluid, it should be replaced. Now for the question, the disc (from memory) is a Hays 11 inch 1.375 x 10 spline. Is anyone using something different? If so , what would be some suggestions? Please provide supplier/brand name and web/link.

Thanks,
Kimba
