Headers, starter, you name it, it was harder due to the scattersheild.



Buncha whiners !!!

I have a scattershield in my '69 'runner. Sure, its a little more troublesome than a stock bell but what aftermarket part isn't more trouble than stock ?!?!? Go for it. As far as trimming, there are a ton of them out there on race cars that have been trimmed, cut, welded, etc. Do whatcha gotta do! The better quality the headers are the better they'll fit. Do some research - some will specifically say they don't fit with a scattershield. And as far as that inspection cover ... either the clutch works or it don't, you don't need that cover to be able to make adjustments. Make sure you get the right one for your flywheel size !!!
