Anyone using the Mcleod Bellhousing yet? Curios if there were any issues with the install? Did you just resue the stock bolts?
I've been running the street twins for years, planning to install the bell housing. Friend has one but not installed yet. Said you need to order a plate so you can use a dial indicator to center the trans/spline? Has anyone done this?

I own one (serial #002) and installed it this past summer. I never used a dial indicator to center the bell housing, and never had any engagement or shifting issues. I am running/using the same clutch before the install; Spec stage 3 with an SLP billet steel flywheel. The bell housing came with a bag of bolts and washers for the install, which I used. For one of the bolts, I had to use an ARP header bolt, as the hex head was too big to get a socket on to tighten down. I believe that one was in the 12 o' clock position. I had to do a little grinding to one side of the bell housing, as it was hitting one of the primary's on my Kooks LT's. Other than that, it was pretty much a bolt on deal. It's quite a bit heavier than the stock piece, but this thing is bomb proof. The stocker looks like it couldn't contain a sneeze next to this thing.

Haven't installed mine yet but it came with hardware. Instructions say it's a direct bolt in replacement with the T56 trans. I haven't heard any fitment issues from those already using them.
What part number is the bellhousing? I'm interested in one that is for sale, but the comments on Summit's site for the 2 bellhousings they offer are conflicting. Check out the comments for 8710-15 versus 8760-00.
