Re: Newbe From New Zealand
9" and 10" bolt patterns are different.
You are correct; C69A block has really thick cylinder walls. Welcome from yet another bloody kiwi! Brian |

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Cheers Brian, That's good because I want to take it out to 3 5/16 bore, any idea on the PCD for the different clutch mounting bolt patterns??? I want to get a clutch disc and cover sorted so I can get the rotating assembly balanced whilst it's at the machine shop.

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
11 1/4" PCD for the 10" long style pressure plate, although a bit hard to measure as the holes are not diametrically opposite. Brian

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Ok, you guys running hollow adjustable lifters, at rebuild do you
A. Adjust lifters with the wrenches or B. Drill lifter bores to 3/16 or similar to fit locking device? Why? All feedback appreciated.

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Well thats a positive because thats what i have with this one I picked up yesterday, It is supposedly a 47 flywheel, so that rings true. I had a dig around the shed for some old clutches and found an 11 disc and cover, but then when I went through some of my old Y block stuff I found a 10" cover and disc from a NZ assembled 56 Customline. It has a 10 inch clutch disc and cover. The cover fits the bolt hole pattern and looks to be the same as a flathead??? The clutch plate has a fine spline but measures at 10" so I am hoping this will work with a Flathead 10" clutch plate, looks identical to the pics on the net. It does not cross reference in the Macs book but then our Customlines had many subtle differences than the US assembled versions too.

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
It should work as long as the three release lever heads match the flatty release bearing. Do you have a known flatty clutch cover of any diameter? as long as it matches that it should be ok.

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Fairlane500...... if you're looking for flathead stuff, try Bryan Church 06 8444510. He has a LOT of flathead bits. He's in Napier, near me.

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Hi Fairlane500, I have a friend here in Dunedin who may be able to help with the Spyders you are looking for. I will check with him and get back to you. I know he has a full set of '37's for sale and maybe some spare '36's as well. Cheers, Meric.

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
OK I picked up a really nice 46-48 sump with oil filter fittings, starter cap in place so thats the last thing I needed, Dropping off to the machine shop the rest of the parts to get going with them, going to have to wait a little now for some bearings to turn up I think.
Prolly a dumb question but what was the intention of the split pin in the rear clutch area of the oil pan??? What was its function???

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Oh, you mean the famous cotter key pin. It's function of course was to keep the great cotter pin industry from going bankrupt during the Great Depression. 8^)
