I believe you have to get the complete fork. Maybe a trip to a pick a part might help as it would not have to be an E body part. Get the fork and drill the rivets out then rivet on to your fork.

Brewers performance sells new forks and that's the best way to go.   :2cents:

I've had my clips off to bend that tighter to stay firm against the fulcrum point. When my foot is off of the pedal, I can look up and see the throwout bearing close but not touching the release fingers. If you have a sloppy fork clip, your bellhousing spring is pulling the arm away from the pivot.

I drill off the rivets, then use tiny screws and nuts to bolt the clip back on.

So,,,,,, If you see another clip on another fork, you can take it off and screw it on your fork. Just be sure to bent it to tighten it first. It is impossible to tighten it when it is still attached.
