I've seen on some clutch disks there is a shoulder on one side of the disk, the other side is flush. Thus one side is the flywheel side the other is the pressure plate. Check the tech section on t5 transmissions for pics. This may be what the Filling Station tech is talking about.

Regarding the brake return spring, on one of my 46s the brake spring comes off a tab connected to a corner bolt on my 4 speed the other half attached to the brake arm. This is a pretty strong spring because of the angle. On my second 46 I recently attached a spring to the bolt connecting my brake pedal to the Master cylinder plunger. The other end stretched forward to the tab connecting the clutch return spring. This is a piece of sheet metal coming off the cab or frame area if I can recall. The sheet metal looks factory so I think that's what it is made for.
