[Shotimes] GEN 1 - Bell Housing nose cone wear and repair

[Leigh Smith]

Fred;
Mine had a 1/16" groove on one side as well. Just installed the Ford 
steel "Quill" and matching bearing with nylon surface. Just got the car 
back tonite and the clutch feels so much smoother than before. I had a 
little "catch" during clutch release before.
Highly recommended.
