Pressure plate springs
 

I am looking for a supplier of American made springs for my pressure plate. I going to rebuild it and if wanted I will do a write up about it. I am working some leads now and have one manufacturer but they do custom springs. I can believe nobody makes these springs in the states anymore.

Are you sure you need new springs?
I'd pressure test them and use 6 that best match each other.

i pulled the clutch as a finger and the lever both broke. Well I pulled the PP apart and all springs were in one piece. So dad thinks that a conical spring popped off of its finger. But now that I have t apart the compression springs are all of various heights. So I figure I am here nights as well rebuild it back to spec.

Mike,
Did you ever rebuild the clutch? If so, what was the outcome?
