Re: 1971 SAAB Sonett III - New Vredesteins are on! Posted by NCCaniac [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 1971 SAAB Sonett III - New Vredesteins are on!, pistorman ![]() |
Jack Lawrence at MSS is still in business, but his shop does not have a web site. You can find the phone number online...just give him a call and likely his wife will answer as she often handles taking the orders. They have a printed catalog about 10-12 pages that they can send to you that lists all the parts they offer, or they can just quote you prices over the phone.
If you are going to order the Sachs clutch disk, I strongly suggest ordering it from Jack at MSS and *not* from Amazon or eBay. At the 2011 Saab Owners Convention in Parsippany, NJ, Jack gave a presentation on V4 engines and transmissions and handed out a sheet that showed a manufacturing flaw in many recent Sachs clutch disks where the rivets were installed on the wrong side causing excess wear. Jack takes those clutch disks, removes the rivets and makes sure they are re-installed in the correct direction as they should have been from the factory. Jack's catalog has both the clutch disk and also the pressure plate and release bearing. You can order one, two or all three. I ordered all 3 from them for my '71 Sonett III and the price was reasonable. And I had the peace of mind that I had good parts certified by a guy who has raced more V4 cars than most other people in the U.S.
