Darrin clutch disc
« on: April 20, 2011, 09:41:48 AM »
Fellow Darrin owners/rebuilders. Please help me locate a supplier for a clutch disc for my rebuild. The old one is an 8.5 dry disc, is this correct or should it be 9.25? Please advise me. (606)875-3212.

Is the Darrin clutch disk the same as the Henry  J? If so, it's Accurate F491W  which I think  you can still get at NAPA.  You can also get it at www.northstarwillys.com or  Walcks 4 WD or www.kaiserwillys.com  exact link

I just replaced one in my '53 Henry J last week. I also replaced the pilot bushing in the flywheel as they are often slopped out and it was!
