          questions:</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>1. Main cap fasteners - ARP  does not make a main stud kit
          for the Spifire 1300 and does not list their studs by size
          either. If you have an ARP stud and nut set up, how did you
          order it? They have readily available a 7/16"x3" bolt for
          direct replacement of the OEM bolt.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>2. Clutches - the vintage set up in my engines are a
          lightened factory flywheel, coming up just under 13 lbs with
          ring gear and a Borg &amp; Beck clutch disc and plate. I've
          run 3 race weekends with the clutch that has been in the car
          for 43 years, so far without issue. I'm thinking I would like
          to stick with the flywheel I have with a good clutch
          solution. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I know this one is a bit of a can of worms but have at it
          with your valued thoughts. I'm looking for simple and
          reliable. I am not nearly as smart as the aeronautical
          engineer that built the car.</div>
