Wanted: Clutch Pressure Plate for 645 Super-8

I found that the Clutch Pressure Plate in '29 645 has two hairline cracks that go all the way thru the 1/2" thick plate. So I'm trying to find a good replacement? The Super-8 clutch parts are made differently than the Standard-8 parts.

I guess the ol' straight-8 was Puttin out Tooo Much Horsepower for the poor clutch to handle. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the help,

Even tho it looks like it has been banged around on the shelf for many years, it is Newer stock, since it is made from Ductile cast-iron (which is much better) <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />, not the original type Gray cast-iron (which was used in the '20s & '30s). The Ductile is an improved alloy mixture and is a lighter gray color.
