Tony,
Is it even possible to put the disc in backwards??? I don't know, that is
why I'm asking. I'm not looking at a Ford unit, but it seems likely that the
hub center would hit the flywheel near the pilot hole. Or, I'm thinking that
it might not even be possible to bolt on the pressure plate if the
cushioning spring section is hitting the flywheel before the lining.
Years ago I broke a pressure plate bolt on my Daganham (4 Sp.) Ranchero even
with the disc in correctly. It didn't take much to break the bolt given the
forces involved from the plate. So, I'm thinking that just about any
obstruction (reversed disc) would have been obvious in assembly. But, like I
said, I'm not looking at a Ford unit and am only visualizing a generic
flywheel, disc, pressure plate setup.
Tom
