Opinions Wanted - What clutch parts to buy and can I do it?
Do they make a pilot bearing for that application?? I've only seen bushings. What's the bearing number?
I am not certain.
I learned this lesson on my 57', those "oil-lite" bushings are worthless.
When I mentioned that fact at the parts counter the guy asked,
"want a bearing instead?"
I answered "Hell Yes"
If someone can give me the sizes,(O.D. / I.D. / Width), I can check it out.
Likely one of the guys here know what to ask for.
All I do when I am buying the parts I need is say, "Not the bushing, I need the bearing",... and they hand me one.

I called the place where I get a lot the parts for my old trucks.
They said you only have the choice of a bushing.
I.D. is .753 / O.D. is .940, that bushing is so thin there is no room without doing some machining.
On the six cylinder in my truck the O.D. of the bushing is "much" bigger, so going to a bearing is possible.
I had one flywheel that had a spacer ring in the pilot diameter, only after pulling the ring out was there room for a bearing.
The parts place I called said the bushing for your application should be fine and last for years.
A little dab of Lubri-plate and you're off to the races.
