Shawn I have an aluminum one set up for  7.25" clutch. Has like 20 LAPD on =
it. It is NOT a Fidanza brand. The steel ring gear is thru bolted not seale=
d with a bolt 1/2 in the aluminum and the other 1/2 in the ring gear. Custo=
m done correctly so it won't separate down the road.  I  have gone to a Til=
ton hydraulic slave/release bearing set up. All my stuff has to be between =
0.175 -0.250 between the clutch fingers and the release bearing. Ive gone w=
ith steel flywheels so all the engines can just bolt the tranny on and not =
have to readjust the spacing.  So now I  have this really nice flywheel and=
 won't be using it. You or someone needs it.
