Should not be a problem. Just make sure that the shop that does the work has an 11" pressure plate to use as a pattern.

McLeod makes a pressure plate that will bolt to a 10-1/2" pattern but will use an 11" disk.

Ya I just discovered it. Isn't it actually 10.95 dia.? Borg & Beck ? I'll be calling them Monday to confirm the bolt pattern diameter for my application. smile

Yes - that's the one. How close to 11 do you want to be? laugh
I have one of these in my GTO. It's the Borg & Beck style. A little heavy feel to it, but it holds well. For a lighter clutch pedal, the Centerfoce "Dual Friction" is the way to go. It's worth investing in a Hays flywheel. The Hays has four different bolt patterns in it, from 10.4" to 11." Problem is, the clutch/disc/flywheel are going to set you back about $500 for this set up.

So will the Borg/Beck 10.95 bolt pattern match the factory Pontiac flywheel drilled for 10.5 ?
