[FC] Progress!

[Merv Krull]

You can still get clutch head bolts from speciality shops or from outfits
that specialize in parts for old vehicles (i.e.: Scott's Supertrucks in
Penhold Alberta... GM from the 40's to 72) I just bought a clutch head
socket at Lordco. They come in several sizes. A must for the Concours event!
