Which pressure plate to order?
I want to replace the pressure plate setup in my 1935 Ford pickup with a 1948 flathead in it. The actual plate measures 9 1/2 inches. I ordered a 9 inch plate...it's too small. What to order? Where would I find the 9 1/2 inch plate for sale? I've seen 10 inch and 11 inch plates in catalogs, but not 9 1/2.
Thanks Bob |

What size was the disk that came out? My guess is what you have is a flywheel that accepts a 10" clutch.

I think deuce roadster is correct. If 9 in. is too small and 11 in.is to big, 10 in. is probably correct.

Re: Which pressure plate to order?
If it's a 48, then WHICH 48? If it came from a car, it would be a 59-type. If it came from a pickup, it would be an 8BA. Check 8BA clutch stuff. I think you will find a 9-1/2.
If it's 48 car, 59-type, it was originally equipped with a 10-inch. If it's an 8BA, look at 49-up car clutches. edit... read hamb thread noted above by 19Fordy !! Last edited by bobH; 08-23-2019 at 02:38 PM. |

Re: Which pressure plate to order?
I never have owned an 8BA nor heard of a 9 1/2" old Ford clutch. Learned something new!
Bob1972, is that engine an 8BA? |

Dual Friction Clutch Includes Pressure Plate & Disc
Part Number : 183-DF021221 I couldn't be happier and the price was right from Jegs (drop shipped from Centerforce). They pretty much have all transmission applications (disc) covered |

Re: Which pressure plate to order?
The 9 1/2 was popular in the 8 ba engines, and is a good clutch in it's stock form and lighter than the 10/11" . However they di have a different bolt pattern than the early 9" so the flywheel had to be redrilled for use on an early flywheel. Now tha i said all that. I don't know if the fingers will clear rhe early 1 3/8 input shafts. The one I have is in a 59 with a T-5 trans. At present I haven't driven it so??????
