Randy,
It's best to measure the thickness of the clutch disk with a micrometer.
The procedure and dimensions are in my book, THE CLASSIC CORVAIR which I know
you have a copy of. In addition a worn clutch is usually a combination of
a worn disc and a weak pressure plate. so they both should be replaced.
Now for the rivets......As I remember, the disks that have rivets should
not be used. There is an article in the Tech Guide as I remember on this.

Question: What does a worn out clutch disk look like?
Now for the part about the clutch disc. The grooves are really shallow.
But the kicker- a couple of the rivets are just starting to rub on the
flywheel. Without knowing how thick they are supposed to be, its' the rivet
part that concerns me.
