No, my point was that there are other alternatives next to the McLeod piece, which is apparently made of gold. I only use them in extreme cases where a 11.5/12" pressure plate has to be used.

I used to be a McLeod fan, but I've had several returns this year on their pressure plates. Also, for the price, you can buy a nice RAM clutch kit and have a good bit of money left over. I've been selling RAM for a couple of years now with no returns, except for one, where the wrong kit was sent out mistakenly.
