Default Broken clutch fork

So it does happen with a KEP stage 2 pressure plate, but after 11 years 100,000 street miles and many many track days I'm OK with that.
I'm just thrilled that I found what I suspected as we know not such a fun job getting to it.
I knew the spare fork I bought from lart a few years ago would be a good thing to have one day.

I can only recommend Lart. It was the fastest oversees delivery from US to Europe I have ever experienced!

The NA fork is slightly different. I have both on my bench and while it's very hard to see the difference, apparently the 951 part is wider-set to accommodate the larger TOB.

Yes, you are right. You have to slightly modify the NA clutch fork to put it on 951 PP.

The contact points on the arms wear down, below is the fork i pulled out of my car with minimal wear. I have seen these worn down a significant amount on other cars. A brand new arm will have no wear on the arms.
