The Ford Barn

I own a 1940 Ford tudor with a C59A motor.

On the Clutch side of the block, there is a “cup” that accepts the starter shaft as it engages the flywheel.

Is this “cup” available as a separate part? Mine has been worn through in the area closest to the ground (likely from too many unpaved Canadian roads).

No parts catalogue I've seen shows it as a separate part. Bob Drake's response was that it is not available as a replacement. Do I need to find a dead block and remove it, (unlikely since the availability of parts here is pretty slim), or has someone out there have one that they smartly knocked out as insurance?
