The old style brg utilized banjo fittings and would be threaded onto an aluminium bushing that fit snugly over the pilot shaft of your transmission. The problem I had w/ the old style brg was after a short period of time the brg would start to leak at the banjo fittings and ruin your clutch and pressure plate. The new style (Gen II) does not use banjo fittings and are supposedly not prone to leakage.

However, my situation got a little more complicated since I also installed new McLeod aluminium flywheel, performance clutch, and performance pressure plate. My new aluminium flywheel was in fact thicker than the steel one I replaced creating a minimum tolerance issue. I could not locate my T/O brg far enough back on my transmissions pilot shaft from my pressure plate fingers to obtain the minimum gap of .100-.125. Therefore McLeod is sending me a bolt on version that will solve my clearance problem.
