Pressure Plate Info Required

[Mike Wareham]

Good day all!

Currently well into a restoration of a 1940 Model 201. Truck needs a pressure plate but the original has gone walkabout sometime in the last 80 years. Would anyone be able to give me a part # for the pressure plate and/or direction to where I may find one? All I know at this point is that it is a Borg and Beck brand, truck has a T9 trans with a 10 spline shaft, and the mounting holes on the flywheel are 6×11.5″.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered!

There are virtually no service parts available for pressure plates, only new or rebuilt ones. The rebuilders do not sell pressure plate parts, they sell rebuilt pressure plates.

I dont intend to use it…we only want it for some R & D on a clutch were trying to piece together for a 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C. Its got a 9″ flywheel with a really deep dish. There will be some cutting and welding required but we need to determine if the Volvo clutch is actually a candidate. I see some old Vanagons used a 228mm dished flywheel too. Might have to track down a pressure plate from one of those and see how it fits…

A guy on FB offered to loan me one but he hasnt responded. Maybe I can pick yours up today? I think I can get your info from Matt…

Hey guys. I finally got the right steering clutch/ brake drum assembly out. I noticed there were some springs broken on the pressure plate but the frictions part of the pressure plate looks good. Have any of yall ever replaced the springs in the pressure plate to keep from buying a new one? If so how did it go and where did you get the springs from?
