Original was the 10.95 scallop clutch cover, BorgBeck/3 finger design

Dayclona is correct on the 10.95.

The reason for the confusion you may be finding is that the 10.95 uses the same flywheel as the 10.5". The bolt pattern of the pressure plate is the same but they squeezed in a larger, (almost 11") pressure plate for extra holding power.

As a result a lot of companies and people will sell/use them interchangeably.

The pressure plate is actually 11" same as the 11" clutch. The disc is what is 10.95 to clear the bolts. You also need the special bolts for the scalloped clutch. They provide additional clearance for the disc.

I decided to go with a Hayes borg and beck 10.95 and when I got the kit the pressure plate is just under 10.95 inches but the disc is 10.5 inches. Is this right or did they send me the wrong disc? Thanks Lou

Is that what you ordered? Why not call the vendor if you suspect they sent the wrong item?

Carefully note that in order for the clutch's warranty to be valid...
U need to either resurface the flywheel or replace it..

Just my $0.02... wink
