You could call up THESE guys, they have a shelf full of SM330 parts - they may have a car front bearing retainer for you.
I bought one several years ago for what was then my spare 'A' gear set transmission, so i could part with it...
If you are able to turn down a truck one, I'd prefer to part with that one.
Car front bearing retainer installed:
Truck front bearing retainer installed:
I found the casted part numbers too hard to make out - which is why I never gave them in my own "wanted" thread HERE.
Here is the machined face of the truck bearing retainer:

I'm not really sure how it broke. New pilot bushing and throwout bearing, and the fork and its pivot ball are in good shape. Only thing I can think of is maybe it got cracked while it was kicking around my shop for a year before we installed it
I don't have any way to turn down a truck one; do you have any car ones for sale? If so, how much shipped to 38375?
Thanks,
