This is what Greg Allen from the Facebook group did to repair his. He used a Dremel type tool to grind away the damaged material, and shape semi circular recesses then inserted woodruff keys into the basket…

I've found at Thiel a complete used cltuch basket but no indications about mileage and impossible to see the real wear without dismounting.
By the way do you know if the cush drive spring seats in the clutch basket are flat or rounded on the springs shape? Mine are so worn that it is not clear.

I don't think Ollie would sell a bad one.

I didn't say that, only also my clutch basket appeared perfect until dissasmbled. it is impossible to see the springs seats wear without opening the device and removing the springs.
No one can guarantee it at closed eyes.

Agreed, however if the spring pockets are worn the basket will have rotational play, which can be discerned without dissassembly.

not in my case Cliffa, no rotational play neither on the rivets. And the wear inside was severe, with springs approaching an eventual failure
