Default clutch question

Doe's any one know if they pressure plate adjusting screws are available? I have a spare motor and trans that I am getting ready to install a new clutch in, but I see three adjusting screws that are partial broke off or damaged. I checked Langs and Snyders so far and found that they list them for a 25-27 T, but not for an A. Not sure if they are the same.

Model T's used bands, so I'm sure the screws would be different. Do you have a local clutch/driveline shop? If not you might have to make your own screws, or give Bert's a call. 800-321-1931

Thanks Tom. I will call today. I remember model t's using bands but Snyders showed a picture and it looked very similar. Just was not sure.

It would be easy to buy a quality bolt and cut the head off and cut the slot using a Dremel with a thin cutoff wheel. That would probably be the quickest and easiest solution.

A year ago I was looking for a lock nut for the adjustment screw, but even the local clutch/driveline shop couldn't match it, so I just used a common lock nut from the hardware store.

Tom, I talked to Steve at Berts. He said they are not reproduced but he is sending me some parts. Bert's comes thru again. Thanks for the help. Mark.
