Changing a multi disc trans to accept a single disc?

[YOJIMI]

I am trying to put another pile of parts together so that we can be a 2 model A family .I have in my pile of parts a transmision set up for a multi disc clutch. Can I change the input shaft and add a bearing retainer to this transmision , and use it like a normal single disc transmision? If this works , can i just bore the hole in the multi-disc bellhousing larger and still use it? I've got a lot more time than money , and I am getting 3 months off starting friday [school-bus driver]
thanks......JIMI

I have a friend who converted his Multi-disc clutch system to a single disc clutch system YET maintained that Multi-disc clutch look on the outside.

If this is something you would like to explor, please email me at [email protected]

Aren't the bellhousings totally different?

They are different so some modifications of the flywheel need to be made. Along with some pther machining. When done it will look correct from the outside also. Rod

I bought an early car that has a converted clutch. It now has a V8 clutch in it. Externally it looks like a stock early unit. I spoke to the previous owner and he will help you make the modification. He said with the new cone clutch it will be even easier. Contact me off-line and I will send you his phone #. I'm sure Pluck in his earlier post is thinking of the same man.

Rod,Steve & Steve... I bought my bell housing from some Gent, who machined the inside to clear the (what i think was the stock single dice) pressure plate, is this necessary for a v/8 set-up? Any help? Just about everything else I figured out 15 yrs ago. Dudley
