If cosmetics are unimportant i would drill a 1/4 inch hole in the center beside the broken blade and screw a wood screw with a large head in the hole. Its what i did on my deisel. It works.
sounds like have the 4.5 bolt circle 73 and up n front and the 4 1/4 inch 72 and down in the rear. Abodies had 1.5 inch pads so if you have wider pads someome mismatched backing plates and drums from original.
Sounds like a very bad idea to me. If it were to get a hole in it when the motor was shut off the water would still be under pressure and force its way in your oiling system.I lost a trans from this happening. A motors a lot worse.
Have tried every shim combo I can think of. Need pinion heighth set at 1.767 and closest I can get is 1.761 Will this be a big problem or is it completely unnacceptable?
Pulling up this old post for info. Do the dished plate and disc both face the same way so their middles touch or opposite so their outside edges touch. I,m guessing the same way but dont like guessing.
