Feel your pain on that one – found the same bearing plate cracked when I was restoring my 1958 Johnson. Hard part to find at a reasonable price – new one is like $125. That part number has been replaced by #382796. Perhaps someone here in the club might have one in their boneyard or you might try:

Pine Lake Parts ebay store. https://www.ebay.com/str/pinelakepartsinc
You can also call Pine Lake Parts at 269-290-7317. I’ve often found it easier to call them direct with the part number you need – they have tons of stuff not listed on their ebay store.
