Are you sure about that, Paul? When I used a 948 throwout bearing on my 948
mounted ribcase, I got no clutch action. I used a 1275 TO to get it to work.

I have to echo Paul on this one. I mounted a ribcase to a 948: 948
flywheel/clutch, ribcase from a 1967 Morris, 1275 TO bearing, and sifted
through a few different arms until I got an arm that resulted in the arm
being centered in the opening when the bearing made initial contact. Given
that I am running a Shorrocks on it, that 948 is about as powerful of a 948
as you can build and get it to hold together. What exactly are you trying
to do, and why? People here can probably answer that question. I don't know
if any of us can give you every dimension of the various components.
