The reproductions that I have looked at are very good reproductions in every detail, lettering and numbering included.

Strength? A friend used one (an original) in the early 1980s on a track only race car. The clutch, flywheel ring gear, throw out bearing, and transmission input shaft came apart somewhere around where the tach tell-tale stopped near 9,000 rpm (downshift to wrong gear) one night. Nothing escaped the scattershield. Job done!
