3.2/901 conversion KEP Clutch & PP issue Options

[larryM]

.UPDATED _ solution found - see below

anybody seen this before? Solutions ??

I have a new-in-box KEP-1 pressure plate that I purchased thru GPR of San Luis Obispo (German Parts & Restoration) as part of a complete FW-Clutch conversion package to fit a 901 transaxle to a 3.2 engine


.



today I finally tried to install the clutch

the PP bolt holes are not matching - the edges are about 1.5-2.0 mm inset from the matching bolt holes of the flywheel -

impossible to bolt up unless I hog out the existing holes in the KEP-1 PP

further measuring shows that the OD of the KEP-1 PP is maybe 1.5-2mm mm larger than the ID of the Porsche ring gear

looks like - it would require a big hammer or some grinding on the OD to make this fit correctly

the label on the box only has the KEP logo and "Stage 1 228mm VW/Porsche Presure Plate" printed on it

The Kennedy box says 228 - but the PP inside is a 225 - (a shipping room error somewhere...)

the 225 PP does not match up to the 228mm 930 FW/ring gear - just as said below


problem solved- see post below

If you are using the stock 3.2 flywheel, you will also need an adapter ring from KEP. The pressure plate bolts to this ring. Otherwise they also sell a complete flywheel designed for there 228mm pressure plate and disk.
