Vn22 Clutch Needed.

[Uglydog]

I'm making huge progress on reassembly of my VN22LU. She came in multiple milk crates. Parts missing, parts broken. What goes where? Making of sourcing parts. Got her running last week end. But, the feeds aren't working. Spent a couple hours on her today. I'm pretty sure that the problem is the clutch. One of the clutch plates is badly mangled.

Does anyone have a clutch plate they'd want to sell. I'll certainly purchase the entire assembly (2L-631).
Worse case I'll attempt to fab a clutch plate. Does anyone have opinions on what they are made of?

I'm at loggerheads with extraction of the clutch assembly.
I believe I've found the source of the failures that have been identified by prior owners.
The clutch has severely worn, bent, and malformed clutch plates.
The exploded view simply isn't helping with actually getting her out of the knee, as it doesn't show all of the parts.

Has anyone here had a VN knee apart before?

In the attached pic the mangled plates are on the backside of the shaft.
The entire shaft fits through a hole in the front however the diameter of the clutch will not fit through the hole.
