<<<snip>>>
 torquing down the bolts that fasten the pressure plate (8")  to
flywheel? 
<<<snip>>>

W.K.F. Woods book says 32 lbs./ft.
The MGA Workshop manual says 25 lbs./ft.  A MGA clutch cover will fit
the TD as I have one in my TD.  They have heavier pressure springs.

These are 8x1.00 mm bolts.  A grade ten 8 mm bolt is normally torqued to
22 lbs./ft. and grade 12 is 27 lb./ft.

If it were me and I were using the original bolts, then I'd stick with
the MGA recommendation of 25 lbs./ft.
