Blykins Brent even though you didn't sell this setup, thanks for taking the time and helping out a CC member. Rick L.

Hi Guys,
Dan purchased the parts from me. We have spoken about this numerous times including last week while I was in Detroit for a TREMEC Elite meeting. I just called Dan minutes ago... Dan is in my cell phone auto dial.
From what Quick Time said, the bellhousing Dan has is a little shallow. Quick Time made some spacers to my spec of .200". They actually measure .184" and are not thick enough. I sent Dan a new TKO-600 input free of charge so he can machine it at work. We spoke about the installation and tips so it'll be easy for him.

My response to that is: No sh*t!? I'm surprised that they actually admitted it though. Of course those of us who have them already knew this after taking a zillion measurements and getting guidance from great guys like Brent and Mike. Both of whom helped me through this same process just a couple of weeks ago. Dang I got tired of other people telling me that I had the wrong input shaft!

Thanks guys, you're both class acts.
