Amazon will deliver one of those to you for $384 AUD, likely cheaper than the direct from Centerforce price once exchange rate and shipping are factored in. Bit of a wait though.

I found some suppliers listing that part no. as being 11 inches rather than 11.5 which is a bit confusing. If 11 will do local outfit Speedparts have this McLeod.

Interesting - the picture on Amazon shows a much finer spline for the input shaft.

It does Jeff. The page from the Centerforce website itself you provided the link to says "Generic Image" although it does look like a 10 spline deal. Very likely the Amazon image is also generic. Part no. is the same.

As I said, that part no. on Summit shows as 11 inches rather than 11.5

while on Jegs they say the diameter is 11.5 but the disc diameter is 11. Go figure.

interesting - I have asked Jegs the question as they list 3 different measurements
Disc Diameter (mm) 279
Diameter 11.5 in (292.1 mm)
Disc Diameter 11 in (279.4 mm)

However, I'm trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on this plate - it's cheap but shipping is not friendly?

I see that Ebay one is listed as re-manufactured.

Do you have the old plate you're replacing? If so, maybe its worth looking into getting it rebuilt locally, e.g.

https://directclutch.com.au/

Probably cost more than the $100 AUD or so the USD price for the Ebay would come to but you'd avoid the postage, probably get it sooner and getting it done just up the road from you seems less risky?

If Elanora is Sydney, then Western Clutch is the place to go.
If Elanora is QLD, well, I got nothing

I have a rebuilt clutch disk already, but it appears too thick to allow the pressure-plate to be compressed.

Plate:


Installed:


You can see the clearance between the fingers and the friction plate isn't enough to allow the fingers to release the friction plate.

Yeah, that's thick alright. I guess you'd need to verify the thickness of the Ebay one before committing.

I think I'm out, good luck with it.

well - I made an offer and it was accepted.
I'll ship via Ship7 to reduce it from $120US shipping and see.

If it all goes horribly wrong, then I'll buy a complete clutch package I think
