We're all in this together, and I'm happy to share my experiences.

The 87 Supra stick is actually bent back 1-1/2" then up, which is pretty close to what we need.  I just cut both the Supra and JH stick to match the stock JH profile.

The JH t/o bearing cannot be used on the stock W58 nose-cone.  It's ID is slightly  larger than the W58 nose-cone and exactly why CC includes one in their kit.

At the fullest extent of travel, the Supra t/o bearing extends over the splines about 1/8".  It turns out I don't even need that much travel to get full clutch engagement.  With the clutch fork geometry I ended-up with my clutch pedal only needs to travel about 6" and that puts the t/o bearing nowhere near the splines....VERY surprising!

A note of interest....I recently heard the JH t/o bearing is becoming NLA.  Can anyone confirm/deny this rumor?
