Default New Clutch Discs with no Springs

Recently someone asked about buying clutch discs with no springs, just like the original Model A disc. Today when I was at Little Dearborn I noticed a box of new solid discs with tape on the box reading special $24. The tape was old and faded, and I didn't ask Terry if that is the actual price, but I assumed it was. Anyway if you want a new disc without springs you can give them a call. 612-331-2066

Many years ago I tried one of the solid clutch disc's, It didn't last very long the rivets holding the splined hub came loose.

But the springs don't break! I use them all the time.

I can see where springs could help stop chatter, but almost 5 million Model A's were built with the solid disc, and I'm sure they didn't chatter when things are right.
