On a lightened flywheel with a v8 clutch, can the fingers on the pressure plate be adjusted? The one I'm about to put in, the fingers are not the same distance from the flywheel. I don't see where they can be adjusted. Am I looking at this wrong? I do not want clutch chatter when I put this all back together. Thanks for the help.

New chinese pressure plate? The ones I have seen don't have the adjustment the originals have

So is there a way to get the fingers all at an equal distance?

A disc that is not the same thickness in different places can move the levers uneven too, to adjust you need spacers that are exactly the same thickness to take the place of the disc

perhaps there are shims between the release lever yoke and the cover---or it needs some(under the 3 bolts)between the yoke and the cover----but you need a method of clamping the springs to take the pressure off the yokes
