Thanks for the info!
I actualy measured my snap ring and it's .060 which is the thinnest one, then I can't find a place that can machine the PP, they say it takes special equipment to hold it while milling :( weird thing is I can install the frictions plates and snap ring without using the spring compressor, you'd think that wouldn't be the case right?
Yeah not just everyone can machine the pressure plate down. I generally don't have a problem getting the right clearance by mixing and matching different thickness discs (front clutch and rear clutch discs are a different thickness) and selective snap rings. You can install the discs and plates cause there isn't any tension on them until hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston in the bottom of the drum. If everything was tight how would it work?
The main two differences about this one (for me) is needing the Pat Blais adapter to use it on a later engine, and the rear band is single wrap. I don't know how much of a difference that makes but I went ahead and got a kevlar band (wide red in front) to hopefully compensate for the single wrap.
The kevlar band will work fine. That's what I always do.
This and the front drum bushing replacement (the driver set from autozone didn't have one big enough and I don't have a socket that size to use either) are the last two things I need to put this thing in. Argh!
