[DML] Anyone Have A Clutch Fork For Sale?

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone on the List have an extra clutch fork for sale, or at
least the sheet metal piece pop riveted to it?

My latest clutch installation has failed. Worked excellently for a
couple of days, then started the following:
- Made a drumming sound like something hitting the fingers of the
pressure plate when the release bearing threw out
- Was hard re-engaging. Sometimes chattered

Clutch still released, but sounded terrible.

Pulled the transmission off the car AGAIN to discover that the sheet
metal piece pop riveted to the clutch fork (pivots on the bell housing
ball) has broken on one side. Is causing the release bearing to move
unevenly. Pressure plate fingers ARE impacting the clutch disc hub
now. Is reloading unevenly too, leading to rough shifts.

Seems silly to buy a surprisingly expensive new clutch fork just for
this sheet metal piece. Does anyone have a used fork with a non-rusty
piece for sale (or just the piece)?

Alternatively, has anyone ever made this piece themselves, or
engineered an alternative?
