a 2800 Pound pressure plate is gonna be a ****LOAD harder then the old 1600 he was running.

also massive overkill for an RS motor

heh are you saying Ross at Autoclutch is a liar?
I'm sure he would have whacked it on his pressure testing thing and shown it to Alex if asked.
It might not necessarily be that tough to push with the dual diaphragm setup.

Well more important than the conversion is did you guys catch any fish the other night...LOL
