Title: wanted, 1954 Plymouth 3 speed pressure plate and clutch disk
Post by: mydadscar on February 26, 2006, 03:37:40 AM
I'm restoring my late fathers 54 plym belvedere standard 3 speed and in need of a pressure plate and clutch disk. I've been told that the disk could be a 9 1/4" or a 10" . If anyone can help with what size it really is and where I can purchase one, I'd appreciate it. Many Thanks? ?

Dear Marc (?) ,
as far as I know, cluch cover, Cluch disk , and pressure plate must be of sems style. Dealers usually know what to deliver if You tell them, which cluch cover You have (Bogr & Beck, Aubunr ...). Try one of these:
This is my adresslist for Ply Dealers, recovered from this forum:
Monthly Hemmings motor news ( www.hemmings.com) is the most valuable help in finding sources.
Try Andy Bernbaum?s, don?t know if they have Your parts on hand, but they have a lot of Mopar stuff! Very fast service and very friendly and reliable people! I never had problems with them in all these years, but others had when sending back unuseful parts. (See "buyer beware")

You can also try Roberts or Pro Antique - got nice, fast service for a few placed orders from both:

The biggest seems to be Kanter, because it was very difficult to get a competent Clerk. Parts for my 1951 were good, minus one pair of too big exentric front end bushings, which would have been taken back by them. They had no advice on correct bushings and I preferred to have them milled down to fit here in Germany

Prices are high everywhere, all have good catalogs.
I have no own experience with the following:
(from Bill Ward): ?For whatever it is worth, my opinion is that the two best parts suppliers out there are:
NEIL RIDDLE - (206) 285-6534 -
Neil is a pleasure to work with and often has stuff that nobody else has. He works hard to keep his stock fresh and he always has something new. Neil doesn't have a website but I've never had any problem reaching him by email or by phone. ?
