Re: 1 Fly wheel 2 PP thread bad
Hey Anthony - so you're looking for a 49-53 flywheel with a 10" LONG style clutch pattern? If so, I will look out in my shop and I'm sure I have one or more.
Be happy to send you one for the price of shipping . . . or you can drive to Columbus, OH and I'll hand it to yah. We're not that far apart - though the "time factor" always comes into play. Let me know - happy to help out. Note: It should be resurfaced and balanced with your clutch plate (is what I'd do). |

Re: 1 Fly wheel 2 PP thread bad
Thx Bored&Stroked & much appreciated but I started networking during the thread & found one locally thru a Mechanic friend, guy in a his Car Club & is donating . I’ll join the club as thx to him! But Big Thx for ur very generous offer! As networking typically works another guy in the club owns a local automotive Machine & Fab shop who can do the surfacing, probably balancing too, but that I have to check. Thx again for the offer!!

Re: 1 Fly wheel 2 PP thread bad
Anthony, I've never installed a clutch, so I'm out of my league, but from info I've picked up here on the Barn, the balancing should be done on the complete assembly of flywheel/clutch disc/pressure plate.
Beyond that, I'm glad you've decided to heed advice to not modify your flywheel with Helicoil or Keensert. They are used in Aerospace Gov spec applications, however I'm not sure of those products certified usage with shoulder bolts.

Re: 1 Fly wheel 2 PP thread bad
All good! Thx all! FB’rs Great! Great source for all ole Ford knowledge! Even @ 70 I continue to grow! While I renewed many clutches I never had a stripped mounting hole in a flywheel. Will always opt in the future for a replacement w a flywheel w all good threads! I’ll keep the frugal Tool & Die maker under control !

Re: 1 Fly wheel 2 PP thread bad
I believe the hole is now too big to repair using a 5/16" heli-coil, anyway.

Re: 1 Fly wheel 2 PP thread bad
Not that it matters for this post as a fresh flywheel is being used but for general knowledge a 21/64” drill is needed for a 5/16-18 Helicoil. The Major thread diameter of a 5/16-18 bolt is 5/16. So even if thread is stripped of thread completely a 21/64 drill would remove 1/64 more than 5/16 & all stripped condition in preparation for the 5/16-18 Helicoil tap.
