Anyone have the specs on the clutch disc minimum thickness?

New is .295", 7.49mm

Joe(?),
Not that I'm aware. Russ Wolfe over at TheSamba is a good resource.

He said that there is no listed spec for carrier plate depth and if I read the Bentley correctly they appear to be of the opinion
that once you've initially set the clutch, the wear limit then becomes maximum adjustment of freeplay?.
You could calculate the figure at the clutch disc from that I suppose.

A few of us here have used plates we could measure if you want? I know my spare came from a 100,000+ mile car that was still working.

BTW, thanks for posting the spec.
