I like to make stuff on my own
as well, but I have learned if someone makes a part and it is proven...buy it and bolt it on. There are plenty of other opportunities to fab stuff in other places.
If it were mine, take my opinion for how much you paid for it, I would use a hydraulic throw out bearing instead. I know a couple of companies make a complete system for that transmission and car application. I think you will be happier even if it costs more than you wanted to spend.
Good luck on your project and post up some pictures
