However if this combo works it might help me solve another problem.

Anyone got and old MTX75 gearbox sitting around?

How? Very Easily Yeah the clutch has a very obvious bite on it. Almost on / off. But it saved hundreds on an after market flywheel / clutch / clutch cover. My build is on quite a tight budget, so I'm re-using loads of parts. When I have the cash in the future, I'll change things over to some better parts.

I used a capri release bearing. Real thick job. Another guy I talked too on Locost builders butchered his clutch fork to move the standard bearing forward (Picture below)
