Default ‘76 fxe clutch basket

I’m in the search for a ‘76 fxe clutch basket with a good starter ring. What year shovelhead clutch baskets can I use? I found an ‘84 but not sure if it is interchangeable? Thanks in advance.

I bought an aftermarket, "Taiwan Ted" basket for my 73 FLH and it hasn't given me the first problem. It looked to be better made than the original but I get why it's usually better to go with OEM parts. So if you don't find an OEM basket, you have an option.
