1969/70 TS250 clutch plates

[Momus]

I'm screwing together a Pre70 TS250 and looking for some advice on the clutch friction plates.
 
These 69/70 use an 18 tab, all 'cork' friction plate versus the later 12 tab type that are usually metal reinforced.

Does anyone know if there is a metal reinforced 18 tab plate available- perhaps from an early TM?

Thanks Tim

Mine is nearly done a year after what was going to be a tidy on a going bike.

I can get the original 'cork' plates through the local dealer but I'm trying to find some laminated jobs with an aluminium center.

Any ideas?
