That is 100% correct for a T5 clutch fork, they were around Ł3.50 when last sold by ford but NLA, unless you are very lucky.
As mine was so tired after 200K miles I made one out of some delrin, a square pad for the fork to pivot on.
Incidentally the fork is a V6 arm from the essex V6, hence the "71" part number on it, just sold a brand new one of these with new bearing for Ł35.
I went hydraulic on mine, totally transforms the car in that dept.

Whats the best hydraulic conversion to go for and how much modding is involved. Does the master cylinder fit to the clutch pedal easy enough??
