The two bushings on the negine side are the split bushing that does around the ball mount on the engine. The frame bushing is a one piece bushing held in place by a clip.
The bushings that Pirogie sales are S%*$. They didn't hold up for three months. I made mine out of a pvc schedule 40 pipe and it held up much better.
Still, I was tired of playing around with this set-up. I would recommend that you invest your time in putting togetehr a hydraulic clutch system. There's enough room to put a hydraulic master cylinder on the fire wall. I ended up using a Tilton hydraulic transmission retainer bearing because of the stiffness of the clutch that I'm using, but most applications could get away with the cylinder used on Ford pickup trucks. I haven't look at this in detail, but it should definately be possible. A $100 kit that has all the templates, list of parts needed, and special fasteners/connectors (master cylinder to clutch pedal, slave cylindr to throw out fork, and hydraulic fittings) would be useful.
