The correct SERVICE PN for the 54 239CI flex-plate is B8A 6375-C. It is a 1958 PN released for service retrofit. It is the same as used on the period 223CI six FM. It also requires B9AZ 6A366-A reinforcing rings (3) as the replacement will not be as a heavy gauge as the original part.
Please do me a favor, when the plate is replaced take a quality photo and post it within this thread. I would like to know how it looks.
