Default Lever clutch control CTL2731

Does anyone have a "Lever clutch control CTL 2731" they wish to sell. ( its the long lever on the outside of the side of the gearbox which operates the clutch. I have a truck one but its to short, i can alter it but it would be nice to have a genuine one.

i'm afraid the jokes on me, as i have a short clutch release lever and it's bloody heavy going on the old legs especially when you're trying to load it up on a trailer.

If you run a straight edge accross the end of the shaft, the centre of the eye is 73 mm out from that line. the eye is 10mm thick.
From the center line through the shaft the eye center is 179mm up.
The eye takes a 7/16" clevis pin (11mm)
My guess is that a center line through the arm is set back 30 degrees from the line through the fork pin.
Any thing lacking or unclear, just ask.
