Default *** Help needed AGAIN! How to install Lakewood HD Clutch fork??? ***

How the h**l do you install the rod connecting the linkage to the clutch fork? On stock clutch fork it's bright and clear, but with Lakewood's CF I'm completely lost. The holes needed to install it just aren't there. BTW what is that small bowl on the end of the fork? Guys with this set up, could you spare some advice...
:cheers:

Here's pic showing the clutch fork:

jay I was going to use that fork then wussied out when I saw that I needed to modify the fork & linkage to get it to work. I wanted to drive the car and not spend the time messing with the clutch linkage so I gave it to a friend to use on his race car. I don't know if your using the spiracal rod linkage from the Streeroid manfucturer or if your going stock. If I remember right stock wasn't going to work for me. :confused:

It won't work with the stock linkage. You will have to modify one or both (the fork or the push rod). The push rod would have to be longer and have a point on it rather than the eyelit. Or you could grind (not cut, its hardened) a slot in the fork and attach it using one of the holes. The fork probably has a different offset when compared to the stock fork so you may not have enough adjustment on you linkage.
