Did you ever find out what the correct thickness should be, because my 2 Ton clutch plates with their new bimetallic linings are 11.97mm, or a fraction under 1/2" thick, and that is too thick as you suspected, I can't get any significant free play in the springs, and the #3 clutch plate is sitting just outside the driving flange. When assembled the total clutch pack thickness is 1-3/4" and I suspect I need to shave about 1/3" off those new linings unfortunately, so as you asked this question 2 years ago I figured you must have the answer by now.😖mokin:
Is it possible to estimate the original new lining thickness by using the rivet size, because I see they used a 3/16" X 3/8" rivet to attach the linings.

Mike

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
