<VV> PS : Memorial Day ~ need/want (local) clutch fork for 1967 Monza PG -> 4 Speed Conversion

Are the flywheel and pressure plate bolts supposed to be tapered ?

I have 12 (6 each) grade 8, but not tapered, so do I need to get tapered
bolts?

Thanks again~

Charlie

Yep, I knew that, hence I asked : Anyone (local) in the Riverside / Hemet
area have on I could pick up while I'm "Memorializing" my Vair this weekend?

That way I could go get it myself sans FedEx USPS (or, ugh, UPS)?

I wanted to mate up the trans and case and the rest can wait until it
actually gets in the car.

I can have the shifter, t/o bearing, clutch disk, etc, but not the elusive
clutch fork.

When I insert the mated up trans and case in the car, then I'll need the
shift tube, clutch pedals, etc, but that's the next step (or the one after
that?) ~ 

Thanks for your insights though ~ always helpful !
Charlie

"ask the list"? I drove by Fed Ex and the Post Office and both were closed
today. Happy Memorial Day! And since there are many parts needed for a
conversion like this, I would probably try to find a complete "parts donor"
car. I would not just accept a box of stuff thinking "this is all you will
need".
