Can I use a 56 clutch release lever with a 60 gearbox?

I want to swap my 56-series gearbox for a 60-series gearbox. As you know, the release levers are different:

Open in new window


But since we didn't get clutch cable gearboxes here, I only have a 56-series lever arm. What does it take to use it with the 60-series gearbox. Can I space out this clutch fork or will the cable adjust far enough?

I think it would be OK DD, but not 100% sure.

Hi DD,
Sorry I should have posted some pics up, been a bit slack there.
What I found when I installed the 60 series box was that the 56 clutch fork is fine but we just couldn't get the clutch adjustment quite correct. The solution was to unbolt the pedestal that the lever pivots on and put 3 1.5 ( probably 2 would suffice ) washers in then bolt it back up to bring it out 5-6 mm and that did the trick nicely.
Cheers
Dave
