Dan, is Eaton still making this fan clutch, or is this a NOS fan clutch?

I have been looking for this exact style of fan clutch for some time now. Thank you

Repros are a close match and originals can be rebuilt/restored (not cheap tho). Can't remember the repro dealers, but several sell them. Donnie's looks to be a restored original.
