Early adjustable slave conversion

[Tekira]

Hi, I am changing my slave and masters out and purchased the adjustable slave. I still have the later fork installed (without hole). Are there any major differences between the early and later forks besides the hole? I am thinking all i have to do is drill a hole in the fork. Will this work properly?

Both forks are straight and the same size. The manual adjust slave uses a return spring on it which you're probably missing, and the fork has a little hole at the end to hook the spring on, then it hooks to the slave cylinder at the other end. The end of the manual adjust pin has a big round head on it. The non-adjustable one uses a much smaller diameter pin. So the non-adjustable fork might have a smaller dented section for the pin to ride in. I know my brother-in-law Matman has a couple of the early style. Might be a good idea to just buy one from him.

The dented or concave section in the non adjustable fork is actually larger than the non adjustable one.This is due to a larger ball shaped piece that fits into the throw out bearing fork.I would use all the pieces together.
