That is what I was trying to say.
Hey blown I know what you meant. I was agreeing with you but my wording was a little off.

I have an intermediate disc that does not have many miles on it, T-adjusters are shot.

They are not mine, Todd made them for his car. He likes the "stealth" look. I have pictures of them around here somewhere....

My 79 came with a set of custom, extra wide phone dials that Todd made for the previous owner.

6 months of winter leads to some interesting projects up here

Update: I just want to publicly say thankyou to Mark Anderson at 928international. He does alot more than selling us parts, the company is there for us when we are having problems with our 928's and really cares about the cars , getting them running, and keeping them running. Mark has been an amazing help to me during my struggles with finding a suitable clutch option. I will update after I get this next one installed.

For the intermediate plate you may be able to drill out the T fittings and install flight hardware bolts with self locking nuts, this could save an I plate, Then adjust the Fingers so its working properly . Just a thought, I have never done this but it was something that i was contemplating to do to fix a customers car , after 3 I plate adjustments

I just found a brand new 86 intermediate plate that i bought, so i will be going full bore with the twin disc conversion myself.

Anyone have a cheap automatic S4 flywheel, or just the timing ring?

Still debating on wether to go stage 2 SPEC or stage 3 for the twin disc. The stage 2 i found for $720 shipped, and the stage 3 for $900 shipped.

Whats a good condition, used GT flywheel, PP, T/O bearing and clutch disc worth?
