Wanted. Delco Pull Starter clutch or complete starter

Our Cub has a Continental C85 engine with pull starter. The clutch assembly does not rotate the bendix gear any more. The starter motor spins perfectly but the clutch does not engage to turn the engine.
Old C150’s used to have these starters, amongst others, and they got replaced by better ones. Please have a look in your store room, perhaps your old starter is still there and gathering dust.
We have reverted back to “Armstrong Starter”, but feel a bit unsafe. I have had one in flight engine out and certainly an electrical starter could have helped to restart and made a difference between a precautionary landing and an emergency landing.
