That King Cobra pressure plate is made by Valeo, and Valeo is used by McLeod as well as some other manufacturers. McLeod just happens to check them out and put a prettier coat of paint on them.

Yes they do use the same pressure exact pressure plate,I have a pretty purple McLeod sitting on a shelf in my shop and put the King Cobra pressure plate next to it.......100% identical down to the name (Valeo) AND Valeo part number stamped on it..........That purple paint McLeod uses must be mighty expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same goes for some filters:case in point:was in wally world sometime back getting
oil/filter and fuel filters (2) for my F-250 Super Duty diesel truck.Just for the heck of it,I pulled the Ford Motorcraft
oil filter out of the box and did the same with a Fram filter, they looked identical,so I looked closer, Motorcraft filter had the exact same Fram part number stamped on it in the exact same place and looked to be the exact same filter,only difference I could find was the Motorcraft filter had an extra Ford part number on it next to the Fram part number and instead of the Fram name,it had the Motorcraft name........
Guess which one was more expensive????? about 25% more expensive!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes it pays to compare and check prices....
