I have found on a engine a pressureplate with 3 pressure fingers ( dont know the other word ) Now if I put that plate on a flat surface what is the right hight for the individual fingers measured from the flat surface to the top of the adjustable finger ??. Assume it is a v8 plate mounted on a balanced flywheel. Thanks for reply,
Gerard
 
Gerard, You might find that dimension in an older Motor's Manual? The important thing is that all 3 fingers are the same height when installed in the car. Those adjustments rarely change, or need re-setting, after the clutch is built or rebuilt by a clutch shop.
 
Thanks for the reply Guy's, I knew the fingers should be on the same hight . That's the reason I asked for dimensions. I noticed that the fingers are of different hight .
Will try to find a old car manual or I bring/ send it to a clutch shop if I can find around here. On the other hand new ones are a little over hundred bucks.
 
Also you may consult a local tractor company which stocks usa made pressure plates....the repo one I purchased from china was bad.....they may have the correct one for U I used north bay tractor in rohnert park calif for a pressure plate for my 59ab v8....good luck and have a happy new year gump
