Could you clarify for me which pressure plate can be used with the Clings V8 transmission to Model A kit? I am cutting the model A flywheel down so I can use the V8 car pressure plate with the kit. My confusion comes in regarding which version of the pressure plate i can use. The car version has the three fly weights which make clutch depressing easier. There is a tractor version also sold that looks like the car version but does not have the fly weights.

What has made me concerned, is Mac's catalog shows a lightened Model A flywheel with the tractor version pressure plate and is labeled "For use with Model A transmission only."

This raises the question: will the V8 version of the Long style clutch pressure plate, the one with the weights, - will the flyweights clear the Clings bell housing? I am using the 9inch pressure plate.
