Does anyone have a picture  or correct part number for the clutch fork?  Thanks

Thanks for the photo, it helps.

Same as what my car has. There is another version though and probable a change over period to that one. I'll try find a photo.

These are the 260/289 versions I know about. The width of necks is much different and functional lengths at fork end to pivot are different. The rubber dust boots for the two designs were very different also. Early this year a Cobra owner complained that their clutch would not operate properly after reinstalling his rebuilt engine with a fresh clutch system. I sent him the picture below. Ah ha, he had inadvertently put a 1965 and later lever in. He located a 1962-64 Fairlane lever, swapped it in, and all worked fine.

1964 Cobra owner since 1983, Cobra crazy since I saw my first one in the mid 1960s in Huntsville, AL.

Thanks Dan.  Also GT350 Lad, I would like to know the other version you are talking about.  I have a NOS one  which has a slighty different return spring hole.

I meant this style which I have seen on later 66 GT350's
Correct me if it's a service replacement

Does anyone have measurements for the differences for the two shown in Dan's photo?   I wouldn't be able to tell if I saw
one standalone.

Thanks to everyone for their help.  Turns out the one I had was modified.  I now have the correct one.
