I got a Nova 9 inch clutch plate at a swap meet. Looks new, but does show a little evidence of having been used. Has black 'plastic' looking facings with grooves. Has anyone used these? Says made in U.S.A. Any comments on use. Thanks.

Is this to use with a T-5? If it looks a bit suspect, I'd go with a known thing. Not like it's easy to switch out if a problem develops.

Agreed. A clutch is one of the last places I'd leave it to chance.
