It seems from other contacts that there is a definite difference between 5-bolt and 6-bolt clutch forks. This is a hard area to research as it is pre-Mustang.
I've asked JD Larson but no stock of any 5-bolt forks. I think I have another lead and will let you know!
Building this thing with a 5-bolt block has lead to a lot of unforeseen problems which, uh, I guess I should have foreseen. For the sake of simplicity it's ending up with more Tiger parts around the trans area. In any case, I've spent this month's salary cheque on one pair of seat runners!

Yes, the picture in Post #9 is the 1965 design.
I have contacted everybody I can think of today and so far haven't come up with a 1962-64 part for sale that isn't worn out. I am told you must use the 1965 boot with the 1965 lever.
1962-64 design parts are very tough to find. Salvage operators usually didn't save much drivetrain wise that didn't apply to six bolt engines for 1965 and later Mustangs. Every early part I hunt becomes an ordeal.
