Big input clutch fork question
 
I have been having some trouble getting my hands on a clutch fork for a big input toploader. They seem to be rare and when found are rather pricey. I have found one, but while I was waiting for it to arrive, I did some searching on Google. What popped up was a page from ERA's manual about the forks required. For the big spline input it has the following noted:

Quote:
Ford C8OZ-7515-D (May be hard to find. As a substitute, ERA widens the small spline)
My question deals with the widening. Has anybody ever done this? I had thought about it, but there doesn't seem to be enough meat around the fork to remove for clearance. Does anybody have photos?

If I could figure out how this is done without weakening the fork, that would be awesome. I can get the small spline forks for $30 a piece at Napa and they always have several in stock!

Thanks

The fork is case hardened and very hard to work. Die grinding will take multiple tools to get it fit.

I found two over the period of shopping parts. One was supposed to be a BIO, but ended up being the smaller unit. They are close enough that you may think the smaller will work, it does not.

Just my $0.02 worth, buy a correct unit.

Sal,

David is out of stock for now. He said he will get them in soon, it's just my luck that he's out now. :CRY:

trularin,

Yeah, I just got the right one. Maybe I will experiment later with modifying a small block fork.
