Use a good grade 1/8" plate steel and a grade 8 bolt and it'll last forever the way I described. The above pictured bracket we made lasted over 750,000 miles in our 67 GMC stepside, yes 750,000+miles, the truck has over 1 million on the chassis its-self, there will be no flexing either as long as your plate is a quality steel.

Thanks Paul!!

One more question....anyone have a pic of where the clutch rod hooks up to the fork? I have a strange looking nut on the end of that rod and I'm not sure how it all hooks up

Hmmm. This was an interesting and informative thread. When ours didn't line up we used the bar between the two hole trick. (keep it clean here!) and if the block had one hole we moved the bracket on the frame. Had heard rumors about the one hole bar but didn't seem sturdy enough. Now we just use hydrolic.

Hey Paul, how much for item 21 in your drawing. Is it the same for I6 and V8 applications?
P.S. Got my parts yesterday(clutch rod boot and kick panel patch). Thanks!
