Be sure to buy the clutch disc from Bratton's
They have the best USA made and not junk from China
I think the also have good pressure plate assembly.

My opinion

Make sure the clutch springs are caged.

Bert's in Colorado has a pressure plate rebuilder. The rebuilder goes through the pressure plate checking everything. He replaces any worn parts. He only rebuilds stock Model A pressure plates. His last step is to mount the pressure plate to a flywheel with the clutch disk in place. He then sets the fingers. You can then mount the pressure plate and clutch disk right out of the box onto your car without making any adjustments. How good are they? Well, Steve at Bert's told me he has used this rebuilder for many years and has yet have a pressure plate returned.......I have had one on my A for over 4 years without any problems....
