39 trans /clutch throw out arm

I just acquired a real 39 trans with the elusive 39 only clutch arm. Anybody need pics/dimensions? Will provide for Barners. I don't need to do it for me as I have the lever.
 
Is there a good photo or dimensional reference for all the arms? Also, is Drake reproducing the '32?
 
(330) 644-3450 This is the number for Gene Sanders in Ohio. I believe he reproduces the 32 lever
 
I took some pics and dimensions for what it is worth.

There are lots of variants on the '32; I went to see which of the 2 types I had in the parts pile, and discovered I had three! There are smooth curved ones as well as dogleg, and differences between examples. I think the V8 one replaced a B one in service...and someone on here posted one with 2 linkage holes, I think probably a very early one with provision for the powered clutch!
I believe all types have the same fundamental geometry in the locations of the holes at least.
 
Bruce,I believe the commercial one is clocked differently.Check pin hole location where it attaches to the shaft.I have found that the curved one is clocked a bit different.
 
The problem with the 32 lever in a 39 car there is not enought travel to disengage the clutch.The 39 pedal has very small arm and the longer 32 trans arm is the problem.The shorter 39 gives more travel for the clutch to work better.
 
Yes, The 39 arm info was for the guys using 39 pedals and the 32 stuff was for the users of 32 pedals. Just random info.
 
Thanks Andy, good information. I am looking for an original 32 arm for a car. Not interested in the remake ones at this time. John
