1. Numbers on part tells me that it is likely a Reproduction part.

2. Also from post #1 the OP states that the break happened rather quickly. That tells me that this part may not be Ford forged steel, as all Ford clutch levers were made of.

The failures that I know about start with the CRACK and clutch releasing ONLY PART WAY and then the arm flexing a number of times with the crack closing up EACH time that the pedal is released.

Finally the lever totally fails when the steel gets brittle enough.
