Anyone going to Carlisle (Swap Meet)?
Never having been, are there used parts vendors at this meet? We are looking for a gently used clutch release bearing for a 94 ZR1. I already know that a NOS german production one is impossible to find. Wondering if anyone that has ever done any of your own work and would know what to look for is attending this weekend? We would even take gently used original over current Chinese production part. I did post this also in OT but not much luck over in that section as yet.

One of (if not THEE) biggest groups there will be the ZR-1 Registry Club. Visit their tent and likely Dave Johnson (club president) or one of the other Registry members will be there and likely will be able to shed some light on that subject.
And, there are some excellent clutch conversion options available to do a total upgrade to the C4, including dual disc units to handle race enthusiasts making some big power!

Good information about vendors but we are over in southern Alberta and will not be able to attend. We were looking for someone who will be attending and would recognise an original, acceptable throw out bearing, even if gently used. Jim @ Torque Masters has resurfaced the flywheel and now all we really need is a NOS bearing to put all back together. We can't make it there this year but will certainly have to think about attending at some point in the future. It sounds like a great function all around. But for now, we just need a knowledgeable pair of eyes to help us locate said part if possible. I know they are scarce if not impossible to obtain. Might have to go the other route. Will wait & see what comes from the thread. Thank you again, for the info, much appreciated.

thanks for any info, glad you brought this up.
to the OP
there are TONS of used parts, but honestly a throw out bearing isn't something I'd buy used as they are cheap and readily available.
that being said, I'm looking for a used clutch master cyl (or affordable new) as the LSV has a really slow leak. I replace the slave a while back.
if this is part of the conversion, it might be time to bust a move and change over. but I have to sell off some hot rods and parts first.
current clutch only has about 10k miles on it so it's still doing ok. just not able to hold the torq on drag radials.
