Folks,
Part of Herman's 5 Speed conversion kit includes a bronze pilot bushing that
goes into the hole on the end of the crankshaft on the flywheel side.
However, Herman's stock bushing doesn't fit my crank. We spoke last night on
the phone and I sent him a picture
(http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/Crankshaft.htm) with measurements so he can
make me a new bushing. I know that there were 2 different crankshafts for
early vs late TR6's and it also looks like the Pilot Bushing on the '70-'76
TR6 was in the flywheel and not in the crankshaft. My Pilot Bushing is in
the flywheel. TRF shows a short type bushing ('70-'76) and a long type
bushing ('68-'70). My engine block is CF38133UE and I know the previous
owner had the engine rebuilt a few years before I bought the car but I have
no idea what he put in the block.
So does anyone have access to the end of their crank to take a few
measurements like I show in the picture at the link above? It would help me
and I know it would help Herman. I'd also be interested to know if the Pilot
Bushing is in the crank or the flywheel for your year TR6.
Thanks

Bob,
Apologies for no help with the dimensional info, but the standard pilot
bushing for my late-'75 wouldn't fit either. I also tried the early-version,
no luck. Turns out, after talking to Dave at TRF, who went out of his way to
measure their pilot bushings, it required a GT6 bushing. I know that a
preivious owner had been into the clutch, but I can't imagine that the
flywheel or
crank would have been changed.
