Re: Continental 15L engine pressure plate.

I had the machine shop take some pictures of the pressure plate I need. They did some research and confirmed what Norm said, that it was evidentially used only on the 1928 model 65 it seemed. But ther might have been used something similar in later models or other makes of cars.

Re: Continental 15L engine pressure plate.

I'm sure it has occurred to you or your machine shop to check into adapting this part from something off the shelf. Maybe check with Clutch Masters and see if they have any ideas? Yeah, that repair job looks...interesting. Ross

Now we know more on the 15L pressure plate. The 1928 D65 is 10 inch diameter and 1929 D63 / D66 is 12 inch diameter.

Re: Continental 15L engine pressure plate.

Thanks Ross for your thoughts on this. Pill Peters suggested I contact Fort Wayne Clutch, which I did and they are checking into it for me. If I have to, I'll have one made, but I really would like to save myself some $$.
