Clutch kit for 69
I am wondering what is the closest OEM clutch kit out on the market these days. Is Perfection any good, CSF , ZOOM, Centerforce, Hays etc.
I should clarify soft pedal if not ,you know something comfortable. R

You can always go to NAPA and buy a Luk. It'll work just fine.
Always use a bronze bushing for the pilot bearing. Do NOT use a needle bearing for the pilot.

LUK are pretty close to factory units. Best price I found was through Carolina Clutch. I put one in my 65 and had it in a couple of days. New clutch and flywheel. VERY reasonably priced. Google them.

I have to agree I put the Valeo clutch kit in my 68. I did not wanted OEM pedal pressure. I'm very pleased with the kit. Don't forget for best results have your flywheel "ground". Makes a huge difference.
