Hi,are you sure you have the thickness of the adaptor correct as it depends on which type of SAAB slave you use,I have most of the measurements so i'll try and check over the weekend.
I didn't put my seal into the adaptor either as most do,I skimmed the original seal housing down to a thin plate and made the adaptor fit on top as a seperate piece.
There are a pic or two in my archive.
I have been very pleased with my conversion and it has worked fine.





Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

what was the closed depth of your slave from face of the bearing to the base of the mount holes?

Glad to hear you did that too! I skimmed my nose housing down on my type 9 as well. saved getting the endfloats spot on for the bearings, and also made the seal easier to change as its into a cast iron plate insead of ally.

Biggest advantage was it gave a decent register to get everything concentric off.





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning
