I also saw a rumor that the bolts to the block were missing or loose. Still, when the complete disc comes out it's hard to stop. I've seen one cut it's way out of a Lakewood more than once. It ain't pretty.

The disc was placed there, it didn’t stop there. The failure was the pressure plate. The aluminum that holds the friction surface cracked at the anchor points. This failure point of the clutch is or has been addressed.

You can purchase a new lakewood bellhousing and have them install an access hole with a cover plate in the bottom of the bell and have it Re-SFI Certified by them. As far as I can tell, no. You can’t buy one. There isn’t one for an early hemi, or a small block mopar. I did buy an old lakewood for a small block, but new is not happening. Maybe they make them by special order? No listing for them though for that application.

Bob Lambeck had a clutch pressure plate explode on his old 1968 Cuda A/M production car back in the mid 1970s at Fremont dragstrip in 2nd gear with a Lakewood scatter shield with no block plate, parts of the pressure plate went through the front sub frame and the roll cage front down bars in the engine compartment The scatter shield looked like a M60 tank had ran over it flattening it almost flat You can use the best safety parts available when racing but many of those parts are not upgraded and made better until someone has a major failure that exceeds the design limits of those parts
Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
