In another thread, I have posted pictures of this clutch cable end solution, but I will post it here also. Then it should be easier to find in the future.

The original plastic ends(forks), on the old style cables, will wear out and eventually break.

I have worked out at solution, where a small ball bearing can be used, instead of having two materials rubbing against each other.



The new forks are made from lasercut stainless steel. I only had them lasercut, since I made them at a previous work, where it could be done for free.



I cut off the old ends of the clutch pedal and clutch arm, and welded a ring on instead, where the ball bearing is pressed into.






A bolt, that is not fully threaded, is mounted in the hole in the fork , going through the bearing, and finally secured with a nut. One side of the fork is threaded, so the bolt cannot rotate.

Awesome.

But, not very DIY. Not too many people can fab up those bearing holders that way.

Agree. It takes a few special tool to doo it (and welding skills)

In my workshop, I have an old, very old, lathe and a TIG welder. The fork (or is it called a clevis) is not necessarily a laser cutting job. Today, where it would have costed me money, to have them lasercut, I would probably have made the differently. It's been 10 years, since I had them lasercut, they have just been laying around, as loose parts since then.
