I’m about to weld in the clutch pivot bracket and it seems to sit “funny”. I checked Brewers web site, where I bought a bunch of the conversion stuff a couple years ago, and it seems I was sent the later bracket version that has the tab which goes into a slot on the frame. Are the brackets the same so I can just cut off the tab and use it on my ‘68? The bracket doesn’t sit parallel with the opening and is higher than it appears in other pictures I’ve seen. The correct bracket without the tab appears to sit flush on the frame, where mine is sitting on the tab. Thanks!

If possible, can the torque shaft and the rest of the linkage be installed?
That would give a better reference to where the bracket needs to go.

I think the position is pretty good, based on other pictures I've seen. Putting all the linkage together first would have been a good idea!

I don't know if these help, but it's from a '68 also.

Those are incredibly helpful, thanks very much! I’m sure others will be able to use those pictures as well - better than anything else I could find out there.

The only better way without bracket location holes might be to actually load a block, bell, and trans in the body. Work off the ball mount boss of the bell to position the frame bracket.
