pressure plate springs
 

Ok I have my car almost done, new clutch, tranny and rear end back in and so far things work. My next project down the road is to rebuild the pressure plate that I have so that I will have a spare set up for the future. I think two of the springs broke, or the finger itself broke not sure yet.

So my question is, where do I get new USA springs or does someone have the specs for them? Someone must make them or have the dimension and coil compression rate.

Thanks,

Mike

He's asking about a pressure plate not a clutch disc.
I found this:
Check free length of springs which should be around 2 1/4", but not be less than 2 1/8". All coils should also be evenly spaced If the spring has been too hot the coils on that end (face plate end) will have collapsed and be closer together than the coils on the opposite end and will definitely require replacing. Alternatively you could have an automotive shop with a valve spring tester check the springs for you. It should take around 100lbs at least, to compress the springs to 1 9/16".
