OK - I wanted to resurrect this thread because I thought that somewhere in here there was a description about adapting an S10 throwout bearing into the stock Ford carrier (using mechanical linkage, not hydraulic) to use with a diaphram pressure plate. Not for a flathead but I am using a T5z with mechanical speedo S10 tailshaft.
Anyway, I was looking for what someone had written up about this but have been unable to find it.
Any help would be appreciated .... thanks![/QUOTE
One way is to weld stub shafts to the throwout fork. See the first photo in post #31 of this thread. As I have a lathe I did a little more machining on mine. I took a Ram Chevy bearing and modified it along with the bearing carrier so they pressed together. I'm not totally happy with it as its not as smooth as I would like it to be but the clutch itself works really well. I may pull it next winter and build a new carrier from scratch.
