So whats the best way to keep the clutch and other parts where they belong?
Short and sweet question as always.. and open to any comments.

we wse 1\2 of a steel wheel with the center cut out.the back side tapers down nicely .looks ok to. It comes down to how much room you have. but it is cheap and strong.
