Clutch cover question
-
I am reassembling my Commodore Six after a 15-year disassembly. Three home-sales-moves later, plus a major hurricane, has made keeping track of parts a challenge. Currently, I have hit a snag trying to locate what I interpret as a clutch cover, something to cover the area between the transmission and lower engine. This is supposed to contain the Hudsonite fluid (?). I'm not really sure what I am looking for, so the purpose of this post is to get either a good description of the part(s) or even better, a link to a pictorial or exploded view. Once I know what I need, I will have to track down the part(s) to purchase. So far, I have managed to uncover all the parts I've looked for (packed away in cardboard boxes), so it's hard to believe I managed to lose such a relatively large piece. But fifteen years of moving things around could easily result in a few things that will never be found. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

That's a '47 Commodore Six, by the way.

I think this is what you're referring to. First thing to come off when you get fumble-fingered and drop the plug from the flywheel when either draining the Hudsonite or refilling it.
Neither of the pictures below show the cover from the top/open area (it was sitting in my paint area, being primered).
And, the cover does not 'hold' the hudsonite - that is done by the pressure plate, which is bolted to the flywheel (with a gasket or two in between). It is merely a cover, to protect the bottom of the flywheel from dirt, rocks, etc.. (see the opening in the bottom to allow water, etc., to drain?) -
I actually have a spare one of these - not in perfect shape (minor cracks in metal), however someone with basic welding skills could do a touch-up...

Rick, That looks like what I would expect to be seeing there. If you want to sell your spare, let me know offline how much you want, details about shipping, etc. intlhud@gmail.com
