Post by Dan Hatch » Thu Mar 27, 2025 7:58 pm

Did anyone see the new one piece driven plates at Duncan?
I have seen a flyer. What does the real thing look like?

Yes we had a display at our booths. Excellent product, very well made. I have installed a few and have been running one in my own cars.

They are a very nicely made product. Made here in Arkansas by the same person who made the TT high speed gear sets. He is a master at machining. He just makes these things between his regular contract jobs.

How many miles on them? What do they look like on tear down? Are they out of testing yet?
Another question, how true do they run with brake drum?

What is needed to make the outer diameter match the brake drum surface, or is the driven plate made to mate up with a new brake drum?

The information I was given is that they are 2 piece like the original because of the machining for the fingers supports unless there is more then one person making them. After seeing the price was a no go for me. Glad someone is making them just the same.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

This is a new source from what I have been told. The flyer picture shows all one piece. If so that is a lot of machining.
Wish someone would post more information about this.
