Some time before I owned my car, it had the clutch explode. The passenger
side of the tunnel was badly torn and distorted to the point the false floor
would not fit. The PO did a poor repair on the tunnel but installed a
Lakewood scatter shield. I have since corrected the damage and take a lot of
comfort in knowing the scatter shield is in place. Robin Young
If you're going to get serious about performance, I highly recommend a
blowproof (scattershield) bellhousing.
Take a look sometime at how close your right foot is to that thin piece of
tin that separates you from the soft aluminum bellhousing containing that 13
in diameter cast iron buzz saw disguised as a flywheel. Remember it the next
time you side step the clutch at 6500 rpm.
Or, if you're the type who would rather dote on the proper hose clamp,
disregard.
