Hi Dwight,

Yes, the fork goes into the rear of the two grooves on the clutch shift. Good luck with your project. Bill

A tip on installing the hogshead with that clutch fork swinging on the clutch shaft into the groove. Usually it dangles and can be hard to drop into the rear groove, as you have already both hands on the heavy iron hogshead.

So prior to placing the hogshead, secure the floppy fork with a nylon tie, to the shaft.


Sorry for lousy picture, but you can see the nylon zip tie.

Then with the fork secure, left hand can hold on to the clutch lever, like a handle and keep it straight, for the fork to fit into the rear groove, while the right hand holds the other side of the hogshead as you lower it over the crankcase.


Look close and you can see the nylon tie strap, easy to remove after the hogshead is placed.
