Ward Brady Jr has kindly just sent the following:
"If you use a Quicktime bellhousing #RM6060 or #RM6065 (SFI approved w/block plate) then you don't need to change input shaft. The bellhousing is made for TKO to Ford 5.8. Use a ZA-125 fork, SC 124279 Slave Cylinder and a 614014 throw out bearing. You will have to make a bracket an D rod for slave.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Now I dont want to appear slow Ward but who makes the:
ZA-125 fork
SC 124279 Slave Cylinder
640014 T/O Bearing
Maybe this is basic USA stuff but I am trying to do this from England - ie get the part numbers and order the items.
Regarding the Quicktime bellhousings ....... long and short shaft versions seem to be the issue ........... so do I understand that with QuickTime bellhousings you never use a spacer, you just pick the bellhousing style that matches the TKO input shaft length? I suppose if you used a standard TKO input shaft and a short style QuickTime bellhousing, a spacer could save the day.
So why three styles? ...... SFI approved maybe? Flywheel size maybe??? Taken from the QuickTime website

What do users think about the large cutouts that the QuickTime bellhousings have for the clutch fork and starter gear. What about the grit gravel and road grime? Can you get covers or would you be better off using the heavy McLeod items (closed) on the road and leave the open style QuickTime bellhousings for the track?
