You have to use the proper fork/fulcrum/TO bearing for the flywheel/clutch
that you wnat to use.

If you dont, the geometry will not be right with the TO bearing to the
clutch TO thrust plate, and the TO bearing will wear very rapidly.

The arc of the TO bearing movement should be such that the lateral
deviation of the bearing to the thrust face will be small. If you
compersate with the rod, you will end up with the compromised arc,
and have the above mentioned problems.
