I'm looking for the forked clutch activation lever that the slave cylinder pushes on. Anyone got one? (without much wear to the pivot hole if possible)
Thanks

Just dug it out! Is this going to be any good? The hole is in good condition.

|

While you are at it, can I recommend you make it stronger?
We have heard that these do actually bend!
Simple mod is to get a plate welded onto the "open side" with a hole in
where it fits onto the peg in the gearbox.
ie. drop the lever onto a piece of paper "engine" side up, and draw around it. Make this shape in steel.
Spot through the peg hole too.
Open this hole up to around 20mm dia. to fit over the boss in the gearbox.
Weld the profile to enclose the lever, making it into a box section.
-Job done!
Hope this helps,
Best,
Gra. |

Yes those forks can bend which sometimes can cause bearing failure but sometimes it's other way around.
If you make it stronger it means that stronger force will work/be transfered to something else. Are you sure you wanna do it? Sometimes car parts are built intentionaly so more expencive parts wouldn't be damaged.
ie stronger fork hole wil bend more easily pin it can even break it off from gearbox bell.... _________________ Tino Vatavuk
