Hey Joe, Look for a local clutch and brake shop, the type that does truck and
tractor work. They should be able to make you a
velvetouch button type disc to fit any spline you want for about $100.
Velvetouch is nice stuff for race cars, soft engagement, holds
well, impervious to oil. Only problem is incresed wear on the flywheel. but
has not been a problem. John
