Default Model A clutch

Is there a source for model A clutch parts. I have one that is in real nice condition however it appears the throw out bearing must have had issues as the fingers are worn excessively. Are new finger available.

While driving, there should not be contact between bearing and fingers.
Make sure you have some free play in the clutch-pedal before there is some drag.

I doubt you will find new fingers to fit your plate.
I got 3 (Model-A) pressure-plates and all parts are different (not interchangeable)
Get a new throw-out-bearing, a new pressure-plate and follow Tom Endys
suggestions

Have fun
Chris

You "might" get a lead by calling a local Truck Repair Shop & ask, "Who rebuilds your CLUTCHES"?

What Bill said. Frequently small parts of assemblies are only available to rebuilders who have accounts and stock parts.

I would get a new clutch. Why take a chance on something as important and hard to get out as a clutch.

There not that expensive.

I recommend Bratton's for clutch replacement parts. They have the disc with the tabs that hold the springs in place. The other venders do not. https://www.brattons.com/clutch-disc.html

Ditto as to Fort Wayne. They have the proper spring shrouded disc.
