Didnt I see a metal clutch pulley disk somewhere?, need a new one Options

I had a race this weekend, and on the last lap of the last race I thought I snapped the clutch cable.
Pedal flopped to the floor and I couldnt get it into gear.
I was able to rev match it into 4th and nurse it all the way around the cool down lap and roll into my spot in the paddock, no-one but me the wiser...

Anyway I get underneath and the aftermarket black plastic clutch pulley had MELTED and folded over letting the cable slip off.

I have the kerry hunter-like headers where the 4-1 collector is basically right next to the clutch pulley.

So I will probably built a heatshield for the trans in that area AND replace the pulley.

But before I order another black plastic pulley, dont I recall seeing pictures of an aluminum or brass clutch pulley from somewhere?

I really can't imagine someone hasn't come up with a way to replace that wheel completely.
Putting a lever there with an adjustable rod on top that goes to the throw out bearing
and on the bottom of the lever a shorter cable that doesn't have to deal with the strain of turning on the wheel..
Or even fabricate a place on the bottom for a slave cylinder to make it hydraulic ??

It can be done pretty easily, but it costs more to do than utilize an OEm set up. They are pretty bullet proof, and with a metal wheel should last forever. Just need to change out bearings.
