1978 K5 LS/NV4500

In my research I've seen that the Sachs 1050 doesn't have the same clutch mating surface that the McLeod, Novak or Ram conversion flywheel has. Again, not personal experience, just what I've been reading and why I chose to use a RAM 1550X flywheel.

You at correct. Worked just fine for me, and at 1/3 of the price
 
Got busy with moving and life and didn’t touch this for the better part of a month. I’m now down to just one K5 so I figured I’d better start working on this again.

Peeled off all the old faded purple tint.

Got my seats finally. Going to hopefully have the vinyl replaced and keep the original plaid.

Where did the clutch line come from. I'm prepping for my 4500 install and that adapter and line look like the way I need to go.
