Any word on these yet? I'm in the market for a scatter shield and don't want to deal with the nightmares I hear about the McLeod piece.

Bump....

Are these available ? how much ? Are these a direct swap for the stock bellhousing ?

And more importantly....if there is a steel plate that bolts to the block first. Will it work with the ExoSkel clutches ? The cap screw heads on the rear side of the flywheel do protrude quite a bit. I cant see a steel pate fitting onto the block first ???

Will do....although it might be 2-3 weeks before Im at that stage.

Hopefully sooner though. Generally speaking, it does look quite good though, and not that expensive IMO.

Is that a 8020? Is the aluminum plate there to reserve the proper thickness for running a motor plate? And if not running a motor plate its just a spacer? Thanks. -Bob

FYI DWT= dimensional weight(I.E. what they can charge you for due to box size) I shipped headers the othere day the real weight was 56lbs dimensional wieght was 92(EEK!) I believe they ship by the bigger number.

TBH, Ive never seen a clutch/flywheel failure in my life. Id assume that if quality components are used, then failures wont happen.

Ok guys, is it so obvious I can't see it and no one wants to answer - what's the aluminum plate for?
