[QUOTE="GBewley, post: 50946, member: 583"] Mr. Stevens tells us in "Know Thy Beast" that the holes to lighten a clutch shoe carrier should be eight, two pair on 3.125" PCD with centers 0.750 apart, and two pair on 2.125" PCD 1.25 apart. In looking at my stock, I find some variation in this, but some of these shoes may have been drilled by an owner, not the factory. Still, if I place the holes as he says, the webbing between the two holes on the same side of the carrier and on different PCDs seem terribly close to one another, and I have experience breakage of a shoe carrier at that very webbing. Wondering if anyone out there has come up with other measurements. I am right now working at the same figures for the outside holes but have changed from 2.125 PCD to 1.75 PCD on the inside ones, which results in more webbing. I would be very interested in opinions.
