[QUOTE="Avispa, post: 14025300, member: 78552"] I don't think there are any aftermarket forks with different geometry than the factory fork. The preferred fix is an adjustable pivot ball, even if you don't want to pull the trans again. DONT bend the fork. It will become weak, will bend back because bending it will disturb the reinforcing structure of the fork metal and it will ultimately break. I'm running a Spec 2+ right now, and I put 3 washers under the stock pivot ball to keep the fork geometry right. If you're using the TOB that came with the clutch, pitch it in the trash and use a FRPP bearing. They can ride on the PP for tens of thousands of miles as long as the preload isn't too high, just the way the stock quadrant and cable self-adjust. Not that a Terminator owner would ever be a Ford basher, but this is one item Ford completely, totally F'd up since, well, forever. The proper place for the pivot ball is on the other side of the TOB so the fork is pushed rather than pulled. That way the fork never contacts the PP. The General did that one correctly. [/QUOTE]
