One of the interesting things about my clutch job from hell was that the
clutch was the diaphram clutch used in a Volvo. I had heard that this was an
acceptable method for getting an 8 1/2" disc and diaphram on an early style
flywheel, but had never actually looked into it. I went to the auto parts
store and was able to buy the same clutch, however, it didn't have the
"Thingy" that the throwout bearing would ride against. It is just the 18
little forks of the diaphram that are exposed. The Sunbeam style clutch has
a little donut style thing made of steel that rotates with the clutch, yet
increases the life of the graphite. Can anyone tell me where to get that so
that I might get everything back together? Lou
