wanted: clutch parts, throw-out bearing, disc, and pressure plate

[63stick]

Returning member after a long time. Was a member in the 90s. Put my cars away and had a different life. Now retired and have the time to enjoy them. So I'm restoring one of my 63s. Need to have it running for the paint shop. Don't want to install motor with existing clutch, only to have to replace down the road. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

IMHO, the best thing to do is have a local clutch  rebuilder redo the pressure plate and clutch disk. Much better results that way. Throwout bearing can be sourced from one of the many vendors.

Happy you’re back!!

Also, all parts you are looking for available from Studebaker International.. You might order one of their catalogs.. which is also found on-line…..

Good idea to get flywheel turned.

Found clutch shop, but out of state. I would have to send it to them. Mine was fine, just thought being I have the engine out I would replace it. It appears the disc is the same as one of my early corvettes. It's a Borg & Beck.

I did call SI today and ordered a catalog. Thanks for the help.

Anybody in New Jersey that can recommend a good upholstery shop that knows how to work with the no seeum strip on the backs of front seats. I have an original set of factory seat covers I would like to put on. I had a set put on one of my cars years ago and they were not done right. The strip opened up.
