gt6 clutch release fork...?

[bluelighttaxidriver]

Anybody know where I might find a clutch release fork for a mk3 gt6? Mine has a crack in the indent that pivots on the stud. Tried welding it, but doesn't look like normal mild steel? Canley's etc all say no longer available...

You can only get second hand ones , so welding is the best option, and then clean the weld up with a Dremel or similar. To the best of my knowledge they are steel, but are probably plated, that is what might be confusing you perhaps?

they are heat treated,   to take the wear of the spherical post ,  had the same its not uncommon

       repair or  second hand is the only option.

Have managed to source a used replacement thanks.. :-)

thats good.

 

     while your are inside have a look at the throwout bearing it should be 19mm thick, if its 15mm as many repro are then the lever you are about to fit 

is let say off balance in its leverage and is angled a bit 'late'  you can  remove the pivot post and add a washer under the spherical pivot to 'make it taller'  this helps correct the over centre action of the lever .if needed 

 

just a thought   pete
