    Do a search for T5 in a model A or whatever. There are dozens of threads dealing with this. Are you using the AA bell housing? Are you keeping the torque tube? Vintage Precision makes a great bell housing. Vintage Metalworks makes a nice adaptor for T5 to AA bell housing. Kato Kings make the adaptor for T5 to torque tube. Speedway sells the 32-36 throwout bearing and the throwout collar to adapt the S10 T5 to 32 throwout bearing. Talk to Casey at Vintage Precision. He will send you a ton of info on what you have to do to the input shaft.

    Yeah I'm using the AA bell housing , converted the banjo to an open drive shaft , I have looked at threads until I can't see straight but they never give a bearing # , I made my own adapter plate out of 3/4 aluminum plate , just need that pilot bearing . Thanks for your reply

  7. I used a 6203v bearing in an A flywheel for a Chrysler gearbox conversion.
    You can use that number as a reference , just get a bearing joint to supply one with the appropriate ID to suit you T5 spigot, could be the same?

    Don't forget you might need to shorten the T5 imput shaft
     
  9. If a pilot can't get his bearings, should he really be allowed to fly? o_O
