Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is the 0.085" thickness critical for my clutch setup?

A: The 0.085" thickness is the factory-specified tolerance for these clutches. Using the correct thickness ensures your clutch discs float freely without binding, which prevents clutch drag and eliminates power-robbing slippage during acceleration.

Q: Is this floater plate compatible with clutches other than Bully?

A: Yes, this plate is designed for multi-brand compatibility. It is a direct fit for Bully clutches, as well as Horstman MDC and Greased Lightning clutch baskets that require the original 0.085" thickness.

Q: How often should I replace my floater plate?

A: You should inspect your floater plate during every clutch rebuild. If you notice signs of warping, heat discoloration, or uneven wear patterns, it should be replaced immediately to ensure uniform friction contact and consistent power delivery.

Q: Can I use this plate with a 2-disc clutch setup?

A: This specific 0.085" plate is designed for standard Bully configurations. If you are running a 2-disc setup that requires a different thickness, please check our 0.075" variant to ensure proper clearance.
