can a clutch plate be past it?

having had a root around my shed, i have found a new old stock clutch plate, luckily with a receipt from august 1989 attached. is it safe to use this new (ish) clutch plate or should i junk it and get a new one?

As long as it's flat - not been bashed/squashed - soaked in water - or damaged in the FIRE - it should be fine !

thats good, its been dry and stored in a nice box for many years, plus it was in another shed to the one that was "forcible" reroofed
