57 Golden Hawk Clutch

[64V-K7]

I have an acquaintance in Germany, whose 57 Golden Hawk has a clutch problem. Anyone know of a generic F*rd or GM crossover for the T-85 clutch/pressure plate and TO bearing that he can look for, without ordering overseas?
thx

Hi, Bob,

A search will show many recent threads on this subject. The clutch disc is a generic 1-1/8"x10 spline 10.5" used on GM products. The pressure plate can even be upgraded to a diaphragm if he chooses.

thnx, jack vines

Thanks,
and is the pressure plate the same flavor, as is the TO Bearing?
