I did when I went to a kevlar pilot bushing quite a while ago.

I just installed - in Oct. Nov. - a new 13" Con-O clutch, pressure, plate, throw out bearing and flywheel with South Bends new pilot bearing. I also installed South Bends HD clutch hydraulic system. The setup I now have is far and away the best system I have ever had since I bought the truck new in Jan. 1993. I would look into SBs pilot bearing. If you go that route you will need to bore out the PSI plate.

I would also like to acknowledge Peter and his staff for all their support. They were awesome in helping me work through my mistakes.

Southbend clutch bored my flywheel for a pilot bearing and resurfaced it. you could probally order the bearing from them and have a local shop bore it to fit. I'm curious how that bearing is doing in there. I have 41,000 on the trans rebuild when I did the clutch and flywheel.
