This has never functioned before and is part of a rebuild that I took over (clutch was already 'done') and I have no history on any of these parts either.

That helps us determine what we are looking at. Looks like we need to determine which outer basket is being used and then determine the appropriate stack, pressure plate, springs, and inner hub that will match.

and clutch cover...............

or try a regular metal plate like PeWe suggested.

That's what I did; the way I figured it, one less friction disc made for a weaker clutch. ;)

OK, so changing out that double steel plate for a regular one worked! I had the same thoughts on going with one less fiber.  I just finished welding that 'plate lifter' piece and it will be back together and working this time! :)
Thanks again everyone!!

Did it weld ok, if not I have one here..
 There is a heavy duty billet one available  but at this point, just get it working first.

Good deal, back to stock. If it gets noisy you can always consider the "field fix".
