Model T Ranch #1075 Slipping clutch fix kit

Just saw this on tbay, what in the world is it and how does it work. Must be magic if it will fix a slipping clutch that has no adjustment left..............

I hope they supply instructions with it. Just from the pictures, looks like 'snake oil' to me.

So it would appear to be a “spacer” that can be installed to increase the spring pressure.
Perhaps I’m not understanding it correctly though.

If it is snake oil, it has been around for a while. Sometimes it is worth reading that catalogs to know what is out there.

Makes sense it would work. Adding a shim ‘so to speak’ to add tension to the spring.
Beats having to going through the hassle of changing the spring.
