My headers are blocking the return spring on the clutch fork. I was thinking about adding a small bracket to the back of the fork that would stick about 2 inches further out to attach the return spring. Are there any drawbacks to drilling two small holes through the clutch fork so I can bolt the new bracket to it? Thanks.

Jas,I don't think it will weaken the fork, but they are tough on drill bits! Good luck drilling it.  SteveW

I've got those cobalt bits all ready to go. So far those bits have been able to drill just about everything I've tried so hopefully I won't be laying on my back for two hours trying to get this done. I ordered a new return spring so I probably will be doing this Tue. night.

Boy, that last statement sounds like it came from a man with experience, hopefully with the clutch fork Mike

Mike,Yeah, I had to drill a hole in the "socket" of a fork once for a cable clutch assly. I ended up using the "blue wrench" to get through it! The expression is not from actual experience! Thankfully  SteveW
