VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 Modern day throw out bearing

I was looking online for a modern day throw-out bearing for a 1928 Chevy and I found one stating that a BCA/National TO1710 could work.

The TO1710 bearing is only 63.5mm wide and the carbon disk holder on my fork is closer to 68 mm wide. Does anyone have the correct reference number for this bearing?

I replaced the carbon disc with a ball bearing type throw out bearing in my '28. I bought the bearing many years ago from a guy who made a bunch of them, but just recently (2 years ago) put it into service.

The Filling Station sells them (part number CV-102) for $90 each. I think that's what I paid for mine. It is a two piece assembly. The bearing is pressed onto the machined part that goes into the clutch.

The Filling Station's website has a good picture of this assembly.

When you put in the new t/o bearing do you leave the graphite disk in, doesn't seem like the fork will mate with the bearing surface since it has a slot in it and a hole in the center

Any advice????

When you put in a new-type throwout bearing, it replaces the graphite disk. You leave in the old graphite disk holder, which attaches to the fork. The old holder pushes on the new bearing.
