MG TD TF 1500 - Looking for a 5/8 clutch rod and fork

In the middle of the 5 speed conversion from Hi-Gear and found that my clutch rod and fork were 3/4, not 5/8 as first suspected. Just wondering if anyone is sitting on some spares they'd like to unload. I have emailed Peter Gamble hoping to exchange the bell housing. The local machine shop won't touch it.

Kieth,
I can't help you but make sure you can shift the 5 speed easily into 1st gear. It's supposed to be synchro but mine is sometimes hard to shift. Peter offered me an exchange but I'm too old to go through with it again. I just live with it. Other than that, it works great!

I think I know where one is close to me but I'm not sure how much he will want for it. It will be a few days before I can find out.

I assume you are wanting the early bell housing with the 5/8" rod?

I'm throwing out all my feelers. I would really like to trade straight across a 3/4 for a 5/8. I'm trying to keep parts in case the next buyer wants to revert back. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

Ed, I saw your video on Youtube. Wish you had better luck. Is it worse than the original? If I end up having to go backwards, I will....reluctantly
