I broke a clevis the other day, westpoint ford charged me $12 a pop for a couple of spares.
In regards to the TFI heatsink, I think you could pickup something to suit from Jaycar or Radio parts. I was planning on running wiring from my distributor to a tfi mounted on the firewall in the mighty boy, and it looks as tho it will need to be shielded, but that isn't all that hard to do or to get. I think the firewall will make a good heatsink. Cheers ToranaGuy

Me thinks I shall not bother with a manual conversion seems to make them fall to bits! and are pretty hard work - my ZD was pretty easy to do in comparison!

Could always strip and ecu loom and steal the shield from it... you compress it and it grows in dia and slides off... That is if you have a spare loom...
Mice cables are not very dia cross sectional area but they are shielded... As are most audio cables and signal cables used in other purposes... Definitely not hard to come by... Jaycar do general ones but that proper heat sink looks need... Last remaining option is to get one like it and painstakingly remove all the fins from the middle to make the TFI fit into it like the ones in the article... Cheers, Tim

One of those TFI heatsinks would be great though if anyone finds where you can buy the proper one to fit the TFI...Jaycar do general ones but that proper heat sink looks need...

I'm picturing the coil and TFI sitting on a small platform - coil sitting horizontal, TFI near it - TFI has a generic heatsink on it's dizzy side which sits upperside, TFI is mounted to tray with 2 standoffs underneath.

Good thing I had a spare in the car. Cheers BenJ

A hydraulic conversion will fix the clutch cable issues. It's something I have pondered for my EB's, but I'm fairly sure I can't afford to do it just yet, with everything else that is on the go... lol.
