That is awesome! Nice work. If I had seen this before I did my 5.3 LC9 I probably would have gone with your M57 kit. Looks great and I really appreciate the walkthrough.

Spot on with your advice to check the friction plate fits over the splines , seen a friend struggling for hours thinking the clutch was not aligned, but it was the plate itself that was damaged

Just a thought, why cut off the oilpan corner when you could have just threaded the adapter? The bolt below seems to thread into the adapter?

Nice engineering - being OCD one comment , that nice starter plate bolt ear sticks up above your cnc'd aluminium gearbox adapter plate, why not 'tweak' the design so the gearbox plate has a matching ear to match the nice cover - sorry to mention it but know your are all about the detail 🙂

It’s already been revised but thanks for pointing it out sir 💪💪 these covers were for earlier covers but we hate waste.
