I believe that "back in the day" Kas used a
competition porsche 911s pressure plate in the TR-6
because it had an aluminum "platen" an so was very
light. It helped crankshaft life in the TR-6. Maybe
Kas can fill in more details. Years ago, they were
very expensive. They are probably no cheaper now!
I have been using a pressure plate like a
standard TR-6 on an aluminum flywheel for years with
good success.

Subject : RE: [Fot] Light pressure plates?
So this discussion about harmonic balancers raised
the issue of light
flywheel / pressure plate. I've got a nice light
flywheel, but am
running the stock diaphragm pressure plate because I
really disliked
the engagement characteristics of the Tilton setup I
originally had
(it's a toggle switch, so backing off the trailer and
driving around
the paddock is challenging).
Is there a pressure plate out there that directly
replaces the stock
one but is lighter? I saw one on the 'net that
looked like it might
be lighter, but it didn't give weight and the company
didn't respond
to my inquiry.
Thanks in advance, Tony Drews
