Scott,
        The clutch bracket fits the original Tiger II
6 bolt bell housing that is aluminum. On the rear
of the bell housing casting there is 
 "FOMOCO SHEFFIELD 2" cast into it.
On a cast Iron C5TA 6394A 6 bolt bell housing
I just happened to have, It doesn't bolt up
at one location, but a 5/16" hole drilled in the 
bracket would solve the problem.
The streight line distance from the big mounting
hole to the 5/16" mounting hole is:
Original Tiger: 7 1/4" (original hole)
C5TA 6394A:     6 1/2" ( no hole yet)
Lakewood:       6"     ( hole I added)


There is a third hole on an arm that is to be 
bolted on over the transmission ear with the
transmission mounting bolt.  This will be the
same for all the bell housings that use a Top
Loader 4 speed.

  The original aluminum Tiger bell housing
will not take the larger flywheel of a 351C.
I have a third bell housing in Nodular iron
for that one.  I use a mechnical clutch
linkage for the 351C as I have moved the
firewall back out of the way.  That is why I 
have the unused clutch bracket.
