Bob,
If your clutch is a typical Herc clutch (Bierman I think) then the shoes 
are made of wood. Just use some small blocks of oak, trace the radius on 
them, and cut 'em out. There are two carriage style bolts that get c'snk 
in the radiused side. Make adjustments so all 4 are dragging/pulling 
equally and then adjust all evenly so a good hard push snaps the clutch 
in the locked position.

P.S. We'd all like to see pictures of your engine!
P.P.S. Really like your SOB sig line.
