In researching for information on replacing the clutch plate and pressure plate I see multiple references to the original clutch plate as having a thickness of 0.340 inches.

I have two new US made clutch plates that were likely manufactured back in the 70's or 80's. One is 0.380 inches thick and the other is 0.410 inches in thickness. Any thoughts about this are appreciated.

P.S. I have had the flywheel resurfaced, and the 1.123 inches of depth below the mounting surface on the rim was maintained.
