Flywheel & Pressure Plate Mismatch?
I'm installing the clutch kit I got from David Kee. Got the Lakewood dialed in finally. Now I'm hanging the clutch and the 11" McLeod 360501 Long style pressure plate wants me to use 5/16" bolts and the Hays 12-240 flywheel wants 3/8" bolts. The hole pattern seems correct. I'm perplexed!:JEKYLHYDE
This is to mount the small input TL I just got from David. Yes, I'll check with him on Monday .. but I'll have gone crazy by then trying to figure this out :D What am I missing?? Sam |
You'll have to use bolts that fit the flywheel and disregaurd what the pressure plate says.

Tim, I was meaning that the pressure plate mounting holes are only large enough for a 5/16" bolt. I'm sure not going to drill them out. Mystery to me why a PP that is supposed to be for a Ford 390FE and small spline toploader does not use the same bolt size as a FW that is also for that same engine. I'm wondering if the small spline tranny has to have a different flywheel.
When I look the flywheel up at Hays website, they say it has holes for both the diaphram PP and the Long style PP. But they don't say what size the bolts are. I just thought someone here might have run into this. Sam |
