I have a known "80's vintage" 2-piece Lakewood on my 65 - hayes gold clutch - stock over center spring and a return spring on the fork.

Everything lined up and worked perfectly. Stock z-bar, fork, original trans and engine mounts

Car is factory 4- speed street wedge and the ONLY modification was a simple bend in the fork return spring.


Since you said "conversion" Where did you purchase the rest of the pieces from?

I am trying to rule out wrong fork, adjusting rod, clutch rod or zbar..
