Default Textralia Twin disc came apart!! now what?!

I bought a used Textralia Twin disc with fresh clutches and after about 1000 miles one of my clutches came undone from the splined part. It vibrated horribly over 1500 rpms. The day it happened i didnt do any WOT runs and took it easy. After i took it apart everything was still together properly and all bolts tight. just the clutch hanging half way out from the pressure plate.
Has this happened to anyone else?!?!
I have been trying to find replacement clutches to give it another chance but i can not find a place to order them from... anybody know where i can get new clutches from?

heres some pics of the carnage:

It looks like Vengeance is a Textralia dealer. Maybe they can help you out.

I'll check with my clutch guy to see if he can get you a disk like this. I have him make up my 11 7/8 sprung hub puck disks for my car. I'll try to get back tomorrow.
