Tilton clutch disc in QuarterMaster housing?

It'll save me a couple hundred bucks to use some tilton 5.5" dual-disc clutches in my QuarterMaster housing.

Far as I can measure, it all looks ok - the tranny-side disc for the QM has a 1/8" thicker splined hub where the disc is riveted - that's the only difference I can find. As the floater plate takes up that distance (and the two discs shouldn't be touching anyway), I can't think of any reason this wouldn't work.

Anyone try this?

Thanks,

I have a 5.5" tilton and a 5.5" QM and mix plates and disc between them without issue.
 
Check the clearance between the hubs/rivits with a feeler gauge, more than 10 wil be fine.

Run the floaters the same direction, so that the bell shaped dish, will all be the same .

IE; if you lost index of the floaters, drag them across the concrete floor to show the dish. Stack them so that the dish matches from top to bottom. Max dish is about 008.
I use 005 as a no go.

Mike - thanks for the info.

This is a dual-disc setup, so there's only one floater - does it have a certain orientation? I didn't think that mattered.
 
Just try to match the 2 floater plates so that the dish all faces the same way.
The Pressure plate and the center disc , in your case.
Every 2-3 disc package has some level of dish, post run. The up side is that they seem to work a long time that way.
Your replacement package should have a max dish spec. Mine all say 008.
