In the past I have sent my McLeod bells to McLeod to recert. no problems.
As far as clutches go, my stuff is all McLeod, so,whether I sent it to McLeod or to Tim (when he did his work) the result was the same, a rebuild. Terry K |

If they have closed their shop that is very unfortunate, but it was my understanding that Tim's son still had a regular day job. He was working on clutches after his day job.
Glad you found a solution for the recert! Sean

Rob at Advanced recerted mine last winter without a rebuild. Quick turnaround, and also replaced the studs for me since the threads were getting beat up. FYI, I also sent my QT to McCombs through Holley...no complaints there. I forgot to put the cover back on the window before I sent it, and when I got it back it had a new one on it.

It seems to me that since the NHRA Technical Dept. MANDATES that certain clutches or bell housings must be periodically recertified that they should be able to supply any racer with people or companies that are qualified to do an inspection/repair/modification/certification etc. that will be acceptable per the NHRA rules.
Obviously of course, the original manufacturer would be the most logical choice for a racer to have examine and (re)certify their own product first, that is before you started looking to a secondary source. FED 387 |

I spoke to Chris Hyatt today. He is going to come on and post. He is almost set up and will be continuing the business. If you have clutch needs, he will be ready to assist shortly.
At the beginning of the year, Chris turned around a complete rebuild over a weekend for me, a customer he never met, after I failed to follow Tim's instruction and hurt my clutch. It was great service, even during a hectic period. Matt |
