78 Elky clutch Fork

Hey folks!
I've been looking for this item for a bit and i haven't been able to find anybody reproducing them. I am in need of a clutch fork for my 78 SS. It has the factory saginaw 4 speed. I am in the process of installing a new clutch pressure plate etc. and the fork has substantial wear. naturally i would like to replace all the worn parts while it is apart. Does anyone know of a place that i could find a new one(doesn't have to be a GM could be aftermarket) or at least one that is in real decent shape used? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks! Smile

If all that is worn is the tips where it pushes the throwout bearing I have fixed them by building up some weld and then grinding and filing it back to shape. Might be worth a try. sounds like you have nothing to loose.
