Cross shaft question
Hi all, I'm having a problem with my cross shaft. It was repaired at one time by someone other than me and they welded the frame side lever 180 degrees from the engine side lever. I've seen pics of a new one and the levers are offset on the shaft from each other by X amount of degrees and the new welded lever is longer than the other lever. My question is does anyone know what the offset angle is and how long each lever is supposed to be? Thank you

There were several types of these over the years for various engine. Then when Centerforce came out with their spring weight clutches and the throw out fork geometry changed, having low pedal, people cut and welded them.
