Anybody have trouble with clearance of the pressure plate forks and the disc. I have an original Borg an beck pressure plate and disk. They had no mileage on them but being i had the motor out for painting, thought I would replace the disk. Bought a new disk from an Avanti parts dealer. I installed it and something didn't seem right. It's been awhile since I installed a clutch and never in an Avanti. But just before I dropped the engine in, I switched it out with mine. I compared them closely when both were laying next to each other. Mine has 5 springs and the Sachs disc had 10. 5 with 5 over. When the other disk was in, I had about 3/16 between the fingers and the springs. There was no way you could depress the clutch without the fingers hitting the springs. My springs were about the same dia. as the inner springs on the new disc. The outer springs were the size of GM valve springs. With my disk in, Clearance is fine. Contacted seller and he said He hadn't had any problems. He took it back. Just wondering if anyone has seen that before.
