Can some one scare up some pics of slant pressure plates for me? Spec is asking for them. The Engineer there is being really helpful, and I may have something to report soon. Thanks, Greg |

Sandy, do you have part numbers or other cross referenceable info? That would help. |

Greg...I have a stock 9" flywheel + pressure plate and T/o bearing. The disc is a 9 1/8 unit from McLeod I bought on Ebay...they subbed in a ceramic disc when the kevlar one I bought was not available. I have a Ford 5 speed so the disc is for a Taurus SHO or Turbo Tbird Coupe. Have a look on the mcLeod site...there is some good stuff...including 10 "units they say are NOT for performance use. |

Thanks Greg and Lou. I will send them on to the Spec Engineer, and see what he says. |

They are working out a special 10" slant six/T5 combo right now for us. The engineer I have been working with, Matt, is checking out mopar/chev/ford/Nissan 10 inch pressure plates, specifically to find a modern diaphragm style PP that will work for us. The prices seem reasonable, and more than competitive. Matt's goal is to come up with a part number for this combo, so that anybody else can easily replicate the package. I will let you all know more in about a week. |

Hi all, So, I have been working with Matt at SPEC clutches over the last couple of months. I needed a mustang disk ( or a custom disk with a T5 hub) and a pressure plate that would fit our flywheel. I got a 300 ft/lbs custom kit from them, and in initial fit testing, the clutch is working very well.  The clutch disk has kevlar friction surfaces  The pressure plate is a modern diaphragm style, and will work with the standard T5/mustang diameter TO bearing  This is a 9" clutch, and weighs a lot less than the 10", but should have the same or better holding power. Matt has talked to me about offering this whole thing as a single part number, either with the ford style clutch disk hub, or a mopar one. We decided to wait until we test it all out on my car. If this works, it should be easy to order your own. I will keep updating this thread as more is learned. Thanks to Lou and Menko for helping out. Greg |

Very cool Greg! Its interesting we ended up with a 9" clutch on this. My pieced together clutch is also 9"...I used a McLeod disc for a Taurus SHO (9") with a stock PP.....it seems very good so far. I originally ordered a Kevlar disc but McLeod subbed in a ceramic disc. I certainly agree a 9" weighs a ton less than the 10" It always seemed to me the 10" mopar setup was an afterthought .....kinda sorta modded to work on the slant. Is that a 10 spline disc? Good work Dude! |

yup, 10 spline disk here. They are willing to do a mopar splined disk as well, for 833 applications. Thanks for the compliment, Sandy. Considering your pioneering efforts, we couldn't have done this without you. I don't know how many 273 cars with the 122 tooth flywheels are left, but this would help them as well. |

Does this pressure plate have a steel ring instead of a cast ring ? I wander if they will make one that holds more power than this, like a 500ftlb setup ? Nice looking clutch, its good to see companies willing to help. A stick setup will be going in mine soon as I get the tranny built. I have a new 9" setup already but its nothing special. Jess |

Does anyone care that the friction material pictured does not appear to be Kevlar? Spec Clutch's Kevlar material is tan. The organic material is pictured in Greg's post. |
