Clutch linkage lock

Does anyone know if someone makes a better lock washer than the one that is stock?

Before I tore apart my burb for the resto, mine had a thick steel one that looked like it was hand made? Well, I lost it... The one that comes from the catalogs is just a thin flimsey thing, and it doesn't do the job for me.

The one I had, was made of steel. Maybe an inch wide, and had a notch for the pivot bolt. It had a welded on lip, that was the same width as the frame bracket slot. This thing kept the pivot bolt securely in place.

I've always figured that I'd just have to make it myself, but just thought I'd ask here if anyone has made or purchased one?

If someone has the means and the time, and willing to fab one up for me then hit me up.

Re: Clutch linkage lock

I used to make those all the time when I worked on fleets. If it is not in there it will slip. I used a small shim. Bend the end down & squese the the prongs together.
