New clutch, upgraded shaft coupler is installed

The complete clutch package including pressure plate, throw out bearing etc. come from Nissan 350Z. Nice to know that stock parts are available when that day comes. I am very pleased with how it turned out:

Engine, adapter plate (starter mount has yet to be machined) and the complete clutch fitted
Throw out bearing and stock Delorean clutch fork (in black)
Sourcing the upgraded shaft coupler turned out to be quite the chore. None of the usual Delorean vendors were able to provide it so we turned to "crowd sourcing", i.e. the Delorean community. Turns out, there was a huge demand for these couplers and a lot of owners joined in on the order. Read all about it here. Here is a picture showing the transmission with the heavy duty shaft coupler installed (circled):
Heavy duty coupler in place. Tranny ready for high power!
