'46 Coupe Clutch and Rear Spring Supplier
 

I'm looking at replacing the clutch and the rear spring on my '46, so the two jobs will go together when the time comes.
I've read posts on here, that suggests there are different size clutches. Is there a way to determine what size there is currently? Stock with a 59AB engine.
What clutch supplier is recommended?
Where is the best place to buy a spring and associated parts like bushings and links?

No way to be 100% certain what size clutch is in there until you inspect it. From the factory, most likely a ten-inch diameter was installed.
Supplier? NOT Ft.Wayne. Not anymore.
Springs? Eaton Spring in Detroit is perhaps the best out there. A little costly for some guys but the spring will be built correctly for YOUR application.

51woodie, how many leafs is your rear spring? There is a NOS 10 leaf spring on Ebay right now, item (126556379757). I think the price was $187. The "Green Bible" showed that is the correct replacement on my 48 business coupe but the sedan coupe may be different.

Looked it up, sedan coupe is 11 leaves and part # 59A-5560-B. One NOS one on Ebay but at $400 I'd give Eaton a strong look. Perhaps Fred Wilner might have one at Southside Obsolete? Worth a call.

Gentlemen. Thank you for the responses. Eaton was my choice for the spring. Odds are the clutch is 10", as Kube suggested, but who is a recommended supplier?

I have had poor luck with new clutch disks supplied with the new replacement clutches for flatheads. The new disks have no "marcel", the internal wavy spring between the friction linings that helps prevent clutch chatter. I look for NOS disks at swap meets and occasionally on ebay. If the pressure plate looks acceptable I reuse it.
