Thanks Dale. I think I will be okay with the clutch engagement. The DYAD clutch has an amazingly short release distance and I already ran some tests and it seems to release just fine long before then end of the pedal travel. I actually had to add a pedal stop to keep from over-extending the fingers. So with the short release distance and the clutch assembly's shallow depth, it's fairly easy to install this setup and doesn't require shims or the trans spacer that you unfortunately had to deal with(my bellhousing had that extra 1/2 inch of depth which helped too). I just went with a standard LS throwout bearing after measuring the travel that it had and comparing with your measurements you provided for your ZR-1 throwout bearing(thanks again for that data). That made dealing with lines and fittings a bit easier. The only thing I'm a little nervous about right now is the clutch pedal effort. It's a bit stiff and I don't think it should be given the feedback I've seen about this clutch. The pedal doesn't feel spongy, so I don't think it's an 'air in the lines' issue. It might be the fittings I used to connect the supply line to the MC. They might be creating some 'restriction'. I might swap those out just to see if that makes a difference. Or, it could be the lower hole I had to use on the pedal to connect the pushrod. I couldn't use the upper hole because the angle on the rod going into the MC would not have been parallel. Anyway, I'm sure I'll get it figured out soon enough. If it ends up being a little stiff, so be it.
I checked out your thread yesterday and your new pics of your ride in the outdoors look awesome. Congrats on getting it back on the road. I'm hopefully right behind you.
