Ted and Greg,
I have one of these Sachs pressure plates that came with my ex-Mueller TR6,
#12.B It is labled Fichtel & Sachs AC, Type M215.B It came with an Aluminum
adaptor spacer and mounted to a Mother Mueller Flywheel.B It runs a stock TR6
clutch.B I ran it on my street TR250 and it worked great.B Quite smooth.B
The entire assembly is very light.B I tried to source the pressure plate
years back and the M215 came up as used on a VW transporter.B B Never
confirmed as the TR6 racer uses a 7 1/2" Titon twin plate clutch on a Mother
Mueller Flywheel.B B The flyweel is a very nice piece that I would like to
duplicate.

Greg, right you are. We raced the Group 44 GT6 MkIII in the mid-'70's B
and it had a Porsche (believe it was Sachs) aluminum pressure plate. Ted
