well Ross at quicktime called me back and he tested out the same bell i have (the non sfi approved clearance bell) and sure enough he had the same problem (something he said he has not encountered on the sfi approved one)..He has made up a bracket that he tested and said took out pretty much all of the deflection and he is going to send it to me for free! that is what i call customer service! I can definatly vouche for quicktime now as he has been super helpful between this and my fork bracket problem that i had...he even said that if this doesnt do it for me, he will send me a steel midplate that they include in the sfi bell since mine is the aluminum style...so it should be here sometime this week and we shall see what happens!

Good news, I'll give him a call this week.

As far as pushing the bellevue spring of the diaphragm too far, the fingers of a Borg and Beck would be more likely to cause interference in this way than the modern raised cone diaphragm, but it's still not inconceivable. With the big window provided for the throwout arm in the Quick Time, observing bearing movement and plate departure should be doable although it might require one of those "mirror on a stick" devices. My friend and I planned to make up a new torque shaft with double shear arms mated to Heims to address the "slop" in the factory linkage, and as I have a new diaphragm clutch going in, I guess it's time to check this too and modify the torque shaft lever arm lengths if necessary.
