Ok,
So just when I think things couldnt be any worse in my dealings with spec clutch, they manage to lower the bar even more-- anyway, I'm going to avoid that rant for now and just ask this: Because the factory service manual specifies that the dual mass flywheel should never be resurfaced, only replaced, there is no specification for the proper thickness of that component. Since all corvettes of that year have dual mass flywheels, there is no documentation for a single mass flywheel that I can find. Therefore, if I have my single mass flywheel/pressure plate resurfaced for a replacement clutch disc- i need to know to what dimension I would adjust the pivot point (that the fork rides on) in order to have a proper actuation. This would be to accomodate for the .005-.015" lost in the resurfacing process.
Any tips on adjusting that pivot would also be appreciated- I really have yet to figure out why the female hex socket has an internal threaded hole in it (the one holding the fork in place inside the bellhousing). Thanks for any help!

*Edit: also- any chance on NOT patronizing spec again for the clutch disc? (ie. using a centerforce or ram brand disc?)
