Should you choose to retain the multiple disc clutch setup, Fort Wayne Clutch not only rebuilds them, they keep a couple rebuilt assemblies on the shelf for immediate exchange.

Agree with J&M. Had a new pressure plate balanced before installation and found it was way out of balance. It worked fine when it went into the car.

The lock washer must also be included in the assembly. If missing, the tires can touch the rods.

My trunk is like yours and I also desired a key. During our excursions while on the MAFCA national tour this past summer, we would stop at antique stores. One such store had a bowl of skeleton keys and I scored.

You are not alone. I have a Coker radial tube off my A right now with the same blemish and pinhole leak. And not caused by the inside of the tire.

Snyder's had the side bowl kit a couple months ago when I called and ordered one. I also did not see it listed which is why I called and asked.

My Sport Coupe has one of these lenses. I had no issues with assembly using cork gaskets.

The new American Classic Coker’s are the cat’s meow. They fit the wheel well just fine on my 31. Only 1500 miles so far. Day and night difference. I won’t go back to the bias Goodyear’s or Firestone’s.

If a wireless lower plate was used, such a hard starting condition an occur when the tab rubbing against the bottom plate developed an electrical wear path.
