I'll take it to super balance they do this type of work. I have a Soarer auto tailshaft some where also. I changed the the bushing today is that in far enough?

had big plans of getting the gearbox on today but the thrust bearing they sent with clutch kit won't fit it's to small! :sad2:

Got engine bay done also

From the ad for the clutch kit https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/360101787646 the thrust bearing should fit my gearbox hey? The hole in the bearing is to small.

I guess Dellow would have one since all of the conversion kit is from them :think:

I stumbled across the one you mentioned on eBay it would have to be the right one for sure? it's expensive :shock: . With the thrust bearing and Dellow fork is there a clip to attach it? like there was on the fork and thrust bearing off the supra below.
