What a group. I think my question has been answered.

New information to me on Pressure Plate use.

John Lye has used a MGB pressure plate on a TR. see below

Ted S also identified the possibility that it was a MGB.

Duncan C enlisted the help from the Morgan Forum. Thanks.

<p>Hi Joe,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Yes, the MGB pressure plates have a graphite thrust bearing,</p>
<p>and can be isntalled on Triumph flywheels for a bit more</p>
<p>bite.&nbsp; I had tried that before I went to the Tilton clutch</p>
<p>on my car.</p>
