    This space is for the adaptor plate between the VW bellhousing and the T-90

    Now I have a problem, there is not enough room to place the slave cilinder so I must to make a new linkage to actuate the clutch. I'm thinking on not put hidraulic and make a mecanical linkage (easier, faster and cheaper for me).

    While I'm doing the adaptor plate and the clutch linkage I'll start to adapt all these things: YJ suspension kit, rear disc brakes and start to take out the original steering box to adapt a new saginaw steering; the new engine has steering pump so probably I'll put a hidraulic box.

    After many months stalled my project, today I've been working a bit on it.

    Past weekend received a new custom cluth adapted to the new VW flywheel and pressure plate. I Needed to grind a bit the cluth area near to the crankshaft and the side of the crankshaft.

    Also replaced the crankshat seal

    As I have adapted a different diameter bellhousing and flywheel I have to make a new plate between the engine and bellhousing. Used a 3mm. sheet metal to make it.

    A bit more of work, I got a new bronze cartridge case to mate the crankshaft and mainshaft. With all centered in their final position I have to make a 4,7cm (almost 2") adaptor plate.
