I am hoping to use one of the 2 clutch plates that I have for my 71 1.7L.
Reading the repair manual, the only measurement mentioned is 0.6mm depth for the rivets. THere's no cracking or oil staining on either plate. I've estimated the depth on the one plate to be about 1.8mm and the other to be about 2.0mm. One plate has slots and one does not. Does mean the one w/o slots is worn more or are there both types (w/slots and w/o slots) out there? What other criteria should I use to evaluate the clutch plates for continued use?

Why don't I move this thread to the garage instead of the classifieds?

Deglaze those? just ruff up the slick/glazed material face with an abrasive pad of sorts, i always used a small orbital scotchbrite pad on my high speed die grinder or drill to cut the glaze on the flywheel and brake rotors/disc. it would take real effort but be careful not to dig in. it even looks "machine fresh" after you do it a couple times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

In a similar vein and not meant to hijack......... I've got about a dozen pressure plates I got in some deal. Are there any sort of criteria to decide if these are good or just recycle material?
