Just a general comment on this thread. I am unaware of any new pressure plates being manufactured in the U.S. My understanding is they are being manufactured in China. I would not buy a new pressure plate because they are made in China. However, if you want to buy a good rebuilt pressure plate, go to Bert's. He has a fellow, who for the last 30 years, rebuilds all of his pressure plates. Bert's rebuilt pressure plates are the only ones that I am aware of that have the fingers preset. His re-builder has a flywheel fixed to a bench. A new clutch disk is placed on the flywheel. The pressure plate is then bolted to the flywheel and he then sets the fingers. Steve at Bert's informed me that he has not had one of his rebuilt pressure plates returned in 30 years. I know they come preset from Bert's because I have bolted on a rebuilt pressure plate from Bert's and it needed no finger adjustment.
