[Tigers] New Clutch Adjustment (Help/Advice Needed)

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.
