| | How-to #1, "Model-A Pressure Plate Rebuild" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | For the non-technical out there, let's first try to understand fully the function of the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel assembly relating to the drive train, and that is to provide an interruptable mechanical connection (as opposed to a fluid connection in an auto-trans) between the engine and the gearbox. |
 | | The Ford Model "B" literature recommends that you do not machine the plate to below a thickness of 0.530", and it should be flat and paralell within 0.001" after machining. |
 | | Ford listed part # B-7562 as replacement springs for the "Model B" pressure plate which was a slightly stronger spring, 110lbs at 1 9/16", so as there is no known replacement as yet, yours can be replaced with this part # if they are unserviceable. |
