Patrick,
I have a Wilwood unit which I think is the same one as the Tiltons use. You don't have much plastic left there as you probably already know.
If you need one, I have a couple spares. I could drop one in the mail for you if you need it quickly.

Bob

Thanks Bob, but Pegasus has already shipped one out to me. I know I have to take everything apart and replace it. But...

Craig, I stuck "can my Dremel cut through case hardened steel" and this little blog popped up with photos. http://blog.daveduncan.ca/?p=2274 Having a relatively small, easily controlled tool like my Dremel could make this job a heckuva lot easier than I first thought....

I use a cut-off wheel in my rotozip all the time. 30,000 rpm = knife through butter.

It would never have occurred to me that my Dremel would cut through my clutch fork. Makes me appreciate the fact that Jamo hasn't kicked me off this forum....

Those little buggers will cut almost anything steel, but are VERY fragile.
They will explode in a heartbeat if jammed up at all, be sure to wear protection (for your eyes )
If you have access problems with the dremel, have a look at the cable drive attachment. It will get in much tighter places.

Seems like you might need to order the "Clutch Fork-to-Master Cylinder Separation Tool."
