Morning peeps,
So days after the truck got through its MOT, the clutch failed on me. Rather, apparently, it's the clutch fork. I have a slightly eye watering quote from the garage to do the work but fundamentally they are stumped in their search for a clutch fork. It's an obsolete part at Nissan. Any suggestion as to where to find one? One option is to weld up the old one. Any thoughts on that idea? My thought is that in that circumstance I would choose not to replace anything (clutch, slave cyclinder) and look to move the vehicle on (clutch itself is only 4 years old).
Finally, I'm at a loss to identify if the fork looks like this: https://www.bestpartstore.co.uk/13903550-original-imperium-release-fork-clutch or this:

I'm sure it will be the more expensive latter.
