So I got my flywheel in that I needed for my 261 swap. When measuring across the clutch surface, I am measuring 10 7/8". Interestingly, I've found that the clutch from 42-46 had the same casting number for the regular flywheel and the heavy duty flywheel.
1. Will this require the 10 3/4" clutch discs? I'm about 95% sure it will but I want to be sure since theyre expensive. Jim Carter has new 10 3/4" ones but I haven't found them anywhere else. Everywhere else has 9 1/8, 10, and 11.
2. How hard is it to find 9 bolt pressure plates? I'm understood that they can't be had new.
About 50 feet from my back door. Clutch disc and flywheel to match. Jerry

Jerry, Does it want to go on a field trip? Not having any luck finding a new one. Looks like original part number for the pressure plate was 838954 and superseded to 3836007. I figure I'd buy a new friction disc once I verify what size it's supposed to be
Mine came from a spray-oiler 235 from the early 1950's. The flywheel has the 139 tooth ring gear for a 6 volt starter, I'm pretty sure. The pressure plate and disc can both be rebuilt, I'm sure. Drop me a PM so the PC Patrol doesn't get their fragile feelings hurt and let's make a deal! Jerry

Is there any reason not to drill and tap the flywheel for the more common (and less expensive) 6 bolt pressure plate? The flywheel doesn't know or care how many bolts are holding the pressure plate onto it. Jerry
