Dont think so, try asking on the uk site

I have several old style drive units, but from memory none of the SOHC cb750 units have locating screws. What bike?

None of them did, thats an adapted type for twin discs, the very first 750 had a drive plate with two tabs bent down to drive from the flats machined on the hub but this was changed to stop speedo needle waver.
There is myth going round that you need an early 500 drive plate for twin disc but all 500 are same as later 750, its the early 750 you need, long obsoleted by the way

My K6 has one like that from Motorradteile (Andy Cepok) eBay Germany.

The early bent down tabs is not an alternative when my front hub has no machined area as the earlier.
I use a later model of hub, otherwise looking the same. I used this model on my stock K6 hub too.

Not possible to order?
They have the longer bolts with nuts for dual discs too.

Here's some photos of a K0 front hub showing the speedo drive piece with the bent down tabs.
