[DeTomaso] Pulling ZF

[charles buthala]

When you say nose pc. are you referring to the Hub clutch release?  
  Also does the Retainer Hub to Fork spring mount "U" up or "U" down.

Absolutely! Any good hardware store will sell black-oxide metric allen bolts 
that will screw right in once the stock studs are double-nutted out. The bolts 
may need hacksawing to proper length.
Note the nose piece the throwout bearing slides on also has a small seal 
which is usually locally available, or the vendors all carry such. But the small 
allens holding it are often VERY tight so be sure to use a metric allen driver 
or you may strip out the allen-hex in the bolts. FWIW, my 'OEM' nose-seal was 
installed with some sort of epoxy-aluminum cement that practically needed a 
milling machine to remove! Good luck- J DeRyke
