Does this look normal?

If not, what's the p/n I can order from the vendors?

Looks normal to me, even nicer than the ones I'm using. Normally pinned to the control shaft and if its tight should be ok. Also available from the vendor sent to you in an earlier post.

Other than the paint isn't worn off the clutch release cam, looks good to me

Bill, it looks nice. Most have a groove worn in them. As far as I know, those pressed steel ones are not reproduced. The ones the vendors sell are cast like the earlier type.

As well as the pin to hold them in place on the shaft, they are bronzed to the shaft to prevent any chance of movement.

That's a dandy looking piece. As already mentioned, the cam usually has a warn grove in the cam. Many will thread the adjustment bolt in from the bottom to span the grove.

Hi Bill,

Yes, that cam you show looks to be a normal Late Style stamped version and not correct for your newest ('10?) T, which should have a cast cam.

If you can't find a good original one, Langs has a nice reproduction:

Good luck with your project, Bill
