Plus you don't even see it when assembled! It will be one of the last parts still sitting there when the rest of the car has dissolved.
The reason for painting the replacement shown in the pictures is that it had obviously been sitting on a shelf for a fair few years before the seller had had the clutch plate contact surface redone. I cleaned away the rust before the pictures were made.

I donīt put rusty parts (back) on cars
