I am looking for a source for the 6 screws that are staked on a Model A Pressure Plate. I would like to get enough to replace a few sets if possible as we are having a seminar on clutches coming up in November.

Thanks, Jerry

I think that you could make them on a lathe out of 5/16 NF bolts, there is enough meat in the head to create the tapered part of the bolt. The slot can be cut with a cut off wheel on a high speed grinder, or slitting saw in a mill. I had the dimensions in the shop, can't remember them all now, check the angle of the taper to be sure.

I have used Allen bolts coming in from the back and self locking nuts. I have also got stock ones from a clutch rebuild shop.

I once adjusted them in the car. Just made them all as close to the same as possible. Worked good, no more chattering clutch.
