Default Ford 4 speed toploader to 8BA flathead

Am using 4 speed toploader with my flathead; will the 10" X 1 1/16" Mustang clutch disc be compatible with my early 10" Ford long style pressure plate and throwout bearing?

Some discs are thinner stock .352 some mustang .312 and need between .010-.015 shims under the 3 finger blocks.

Thanks for responding; if I find Mustang clutch disc too thin what do I use for shim material under p/p arms? Bob
