On another note I have to say, these Lakewoods could have used a little more finishing concerning engineering and fitment. I've had to grind on some flange areas to get the Z-bar pivot mount to fit flush, drill a hole and grind away material for the clutch return spring, and am still not convinced that the clutch fork pivot is properly located using the stock bolt in bracket.Have any of you used the adjustable fork pivot that Lakewood makes? Any other helpful input on properly aligning the Z-bar and other linkage? This is a 71 Demon, stock 340 block with TTI headers, mini starter, stock style 4 speed transmission with the small bearing retainer using the Lakewood supplied spacer ring to fill the hole.





You might want to call Lakewood on the re-cert of the bellhousing. Putting in a window, drilling holes and grinding might just cancel any recertification hopes. On a positive note, I have never been asked or had a tech guy look for a sticker on my Lakewood in 50 years. Yes I bought it back in 1968 and still using it. Is it out of cert? LOL


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
