Reply to "Pressure plate 3 finger long style"

...If you would take a Micrometer and measure the thickness of the Hat(cover)of the McLoud clutch, and compare this measurement to other makes; you would find that the McLoud Hat is the Thickest in the Industry! Almost twice as thick as the 'cheaper' plates, that is why they are so heavy! This is most important in clutches to prevent 'Hat Flexing' which translates into loss of friction and clutch slippage. For those who didn't know, the McLoud Plate has a Slightly lower spring pressure, making for easier clutch pedal depression and is easier on the rubber parts of the Hydraulic System. This lower pressure is compensated by the use of counterweights(Yes!! They clear the BellHousing!), on the 3 Forged Fingers; that increase the plate to disk pressure in proportion to the the RPM's going higher. I believe McLoud makes the best(Single Disk)clutch that any amount of money can buy! That is suridly why P.I. Motorports has chosen them to sell to their customers. I have used McLoud clutches exclusively, in all of my vehicles, for decades; and I fully recommend them for any amount of Horsepower!!FWIW...
