Hi Frank,
If you want to convert to a stock Datsun clutch you can ship me your
1275 flywheel. I can do the modification for you to fit the stock 7"
Datsun clutch. I have looked at the Rivergate instructions and that's
an awful lot of fussing to make the clutch work if you ask me.
Joey (Paul's son) has been forwarding inquiries to me and I am in the
process of working things out, but I have been able to to the flywheel/
clutch mod for over a year now. Contact me off list if you want to
make arrangements.
