72 clutch rod adjust?

[72SB]

Well after thumbing through the Assembly Manual (WTF they can't include a index) on about the last page there is an illustration showing a return spring for the fork, #4

It appears it attaches to the inner hole (engine side) of clutch fork and other end to a hole in the ball crank plate on frame.

I don't have this spring. Will do a search but I suspect I will need to find a suitable donor spring for something like this.

I don't know what you are looking at there but the clutch fork is not on the same side as the starter on a left hand drive pickup truck. What are you working on? And does that illustration apply? I don't think so.

Your illustration from the ''Assembly Manual'' shows the clutch linkage set up for an L6 truck destined for Overseas Export with Right Hand Drive. The UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan and some island nations with a former British colonial history might be their destination. Also the USPS sometimes contracted for RHD vehicles, so the postman could reach the mailbox from the relocated drivers seat. Mostly Jeep/Mopar products, these days.

Any generic spring from an assortment found at the autoparts store would work. Offhand, I think a 12'' unstretched spring will work. Some have a premade hook at one end, and a long length at the other, so you can bend in a hook where you need it.
