Hi Larry,

With my kit the Datsun clutch cover, disc & TO bearing are used.  With
the thicker Rivergate plate, you may need to put a spacer on the TO
bearing carrier to space the TO bearing closer to the cover.  If you have
cut the front trans cover as is sometimes needed with the Rivergate, be
sure that the TO bearing carrier will not go so far forword as to hang up
on it.  I also modify the flywheels and redrill them for the Datsun
pieces.  Refacing for the 1380 is slightly diferent than for the stock
1275.

Regards, Paul
