i scoured the all of the FSM's i have at my disposal (65, 69 & 74) and could not find a mention in any of those for min. thickness. surprisingly they only list run out and flat on the wheel and pressure plate.
i looked at the three i have here (70's /6 122T and 65/66 122T as well as a 67+ 130T) and not one of them has any min. thick markings on them.
i would *guess* that as long as you still have the depth in the holes for proper engagement of the bolts that attach the pressure plate you should be okay? what that is, i don't know... .040? .060?

Ok thank you I guess I'll turn it down some more
I'd also be sure that the springs on the disc do not contact the heads of the flywheel to crank bolts. That disc hub does flex.

Plenty of room there thanks
well that sucks that makes it hard to buy a refurbished one
I used them a lot of years because they were light weight. I heard someone makes dual disc set ups for them but don't remember who. Maybe they have something. And don't buy a refurbished one because they look good but if it had hot spots they come right back and you'll be doing the job over.

Ok thanks
The clutch diameter is 9.5". I've never seen a minimum thickness spec. Maybe @slantsixdan knows.
Oh and if you want a larger clutch, you can get a set with a scalloped pressure plate that has a 10" clutch disc.

Thanks
I have looked I'll just get a different bell housing that other clutch is expensive mine was only $100 at Rock Auto it's the regular clutch a pressure plate not the weird 9.5 clutch and pressure plate
It helps to know what you're looking for.

fyi, if you go different bell you'll need to modify your Z-bar and attachment hardware along with the clutch fork (or buy a new one).

Thank you someone else in the group had told me that also I'm just trying to keep it like it is for now the flywheel cleaned up so I'll give it a shot

a cost effective solution can be a /6 flywheel redrilled for the v8 crank pattern.
i wouldn't recommend it for a high HP application, but for a driver it'll be fine.
oh and the MU1525 clutch that @RustyRatRod linked is the cats *** for the small wheel. in fact i'm just about to put one into my project this weekend.

Thank you
Yeah, it's just a no brainer. I even have the same dealio for my Ford T5 swap. I got a real NOS B&B scalloped pressure plate and a 10" disc with the T5 spline count. Perfect for a hot slant 6.
