does anyone know the part # for a single disc 7.25 Quarter Master clutch 
disc that fits standard TR4 input shaft? Ive been stuggling trying to 
contact Quarter Master. On an old subject I did e-mail apple hydrolics 
asking how they tested there shocks. they simply stated they tested them. 
when I inquired if they might be interested in testing used race shocks I 
got no reply. and no answer how they were tested. Jeff
