Has anyone else had the pleasure of using a new repro 9" pressure plate and adapting it to a cut down A flywheel? Spent all morning measuring, remeasuring and trying to get a set of holes to line up on a bolt circle. Finally came to the conclusion (by checking 2 of these plates back to back) that the holes are randomly spaced around the perimeter. I even tried to mount them up on a original V-8 flywheel, you would have to oversize the holes big time to get them in. Am I missing some thing obvious or am I over engineering it? My last thought is to line up the plate inside with the center hole in the flywheel, best that I could come up with.

No more V-8 clutches for me.
