The QTs are approx. .200 more shallow then the lakewoods. It is important to use an adjustable pivot ball and the correct throwout bearing and fork. There is a blocksaver you can getmthat is thicker than the one that comes with the QT that can help also. E mail or call me. Jim

I'm running Corvette fork and the same bearing as you guys, so I'm hoping the adjustable pivot will get me there. When I put it together I saw that it was close, but thought it would be ok. I don't understand why the QT doesn't come with an adjustable ball...they don't even sell one as far as I can tell with a couple hours of internet research. I'm planning on getting the Lakewood one for GMs, as it appears to have the same thread as the hole in my QT.
