Re: Helena..my 1960 VW Karmann Ghia
After standing for a while due to a clutch problem, we finally got Helena out yesterday and sorted out the problem, we thought the clutch cable had snapped...it didnt, we thought it was the pressure plate...it wasnt. Finally when we pulled the motor we saw that it was actually the fork in the bell housing, it had snapped at both arms that hold the release bearing. After numerous calls to different guys to find a matching fork with no luck, we made a turn at my mechanics place and lucky for me, we found one . Got back to my place and installed it, she is now alive and kicking...thank goodness.

Looking good! Any chance that it is the same Ghia as this one? (I took the pic in '97 near the Golden Acre Shopping Centre, Cape Town)
