V8 Style Pressure Plate Bolts
I recently had my flywheel converted to accept the V8 style pressure plate. However, I do not have the shouldered bolts that are used to attached the pressure plate to the flywheel. Does anyone know where these can be obtained? The only vendor that I have seen even offer them is Brattons but judging by the picture shown they do not appear correct. Any ideas?

Re: V8 Style Pressure Plate Bolts
When I converted to the V-8 pressure plate, I re-used the same bolts that were used to attach the original Model A pressure plate. A thousand miles later I have not experienced a problem, am I driving a time bomb? Serious!

Re: V8 Style Pressure Plate Bolts
The Ford bolts had the shoulder which acted much as a positioning dowel pin. Other practices of obtaining the same results have been put to use over the years. Some manufacturers will use a separate locating pin system and bolts threaded to the head and some don't bother with position and just bolt the cover on with threaded shank bolts. Practices that were unacceptable in 1930 are and have been accepted practices for many years now in the automotive industry.
I remember as a kid (1960?) using some large sheet metal screws to attach a sheet metal cover onto an aluminum housing and was almost ostracized from the family as all I heard was how WRONG it was to attach it in that manner. How many auto manufacturers do that these days? When repairing my Model A I try to adhere to the methodology used in the Model A days. Chet |
