MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Urgent - clutch fork

I've managed to accidentally give away my clutch fork and have just realised when putting the new box back in. I have a dead 1098cc box buried in an old car in the back of the pig pen. Can someone confirm before I go to the trouble of pulling the engine if it is the same as a 1275? (Dave smith - don't worry - not touched your car)
Many thanks
John Collinson

John. Yes the 1098 and 1275 forks are the same. Moss part number 22G168. Only the 948 and obviously the 1500 are different.
Bernie Higginson

The smoothcase gearbox had a different clutch fork to the ribcase.
Daniel Stapleton

Thanks both. In the end I couldn't get to the other fork as the car has no rear axle and the nose against the wall. Having a look in the garage now for another.

How desperately do you need it? I should have one.

Thanks Dave - may need to take up that offer. Need for MG Live next weekend and last day free to get it all back together is Wednesday. Can't find one in the garage. Sam Healey may have one locally so if he doesn't come up trumps Ill give you a shout.

We're heading up to the house later coz the weather is pants and I've got a bag of wet washing to dry - Bruce will have a root around and see if he can find one - this rate you'll end up with 10 - on Thursday!!

Not like you to leave things to the last minute John .... :P :)

Sorry John - no luck :( found a moggy minor one (why???!!!!!) and an a-series one adapted to a toyota box, so not suitable.

I have put a post on facebook tagging James/Andrew/Max - may be worth putting something on the MGCC Speed Championship or the midget and Sprite championship page - alot of people haven't come back here yet!

John.

I've got 3 in my box of bits.

Let me know if you want one of them.

All sorted now - thanks all. I used to have 2 or 3 spares like you Andew but how they all have disappeared I'll never know. I remember lending one to someone at Thruxton when theirs broke (can't remember who) but as to where the others went...
