Removing a bit of material from the brace allowed me to tweak the Pivot position enough to where the dummy shaft slips all the way back and forth with no binding.
I'll weld it up tomorrow and continue with the remaining assembly. What a PITA.
Thanks again to all for the support and I am praying that the issue is history.
Will follow up once running and the clutch is tested up beer


Sounds like a smart way to figure it out! Hope it works this time, keep us posted!

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
