i dont think there would be any trouble selling them. especially as the bump and dent crowd would be needing them too.
I was curious about that...how long did they use this design? One of my ideas was to 'update' my truck to a newer clutch release but I guess they all used the same thing.

Thats a good idea Ice.
Were they originally forged from 4140?

Used the same design up to 79.

You have a homework assignment. Have it on my desk by Monday.

4140 seems like it would be a good choice. I may have an old one I can measure. I will try to forge a couple and eliminate the weak bend area.

They are overkill, but that the way I roll!
