Here you can see the floater place and the top disc installed. What
you can't see is the bottom disc but the alignment tool is going through
both of them. McLeod supplied some bolts for this but I used my ARP
fasteners instead.

Here is the complete clutch assembly all bolted in place.
And notice the dark marks are in line with each other meaning it's
assembled correctly. If you look close you can see two sets of splines
in the center which means two discs.

Here is the scatter shield all bolted in place, at least the top half
anyways. I'll do the bottom portion soon. The scatter shield is made out
of 1/4" steel and is SFI certified which means it will pass tech
inspection if you wanted to race your car. Notice the one inch diameter
hole to the left of the large center hole. This is for a clutch pivot
ball if you were using manual linkage. I'll be using a hydraulic release
bearing in place of manual linkage so I removed the ball. Next up
will be installing the transmission which means cutting some of the
floor tunnel away so it will fit.

After making sure the scatter shield cleared the clutch assembly just
fine, I wanted to make sure I didn't have any issues with anything
before assembly. Now this picture should have been before the one above
because you can still see the pivot ball installed. Anyways, what I
found was that the threaded holes for the trans needed to be cleaned out
because of powder coating.
Here I'm using a 1/2-13 tap to clean out the threads and I found out
that three of the four holes that I'll be using have a very small amount
of clearance once they go through that mounting plate. What I mean is
the holes are tapped through the plate but quickly run into the angled
surface below it.

The hardware that came with the kit included one sock head cap screw
(Allen bolt) because a normal hex head bolt would have clearance issues
in one location. If you look close you can see that I have some bolts
screwed in and they are both bottomed out against the scatter shield.
This is what I was referring to above and will have to be addressed.

Here is a close up of the clearance problem. What I did was cut the
bolts down by 1/4" or more to make them all fit without bottoming out.
Now you would think someone would have known about this at Hurst and
swapped out these longer bolts for some shorter ones. On the other hand
It was a quick fix but kinda makes you wonder.
