The Ford Barn

I'm trying to find out what is acceptable wear on the shift fork shafts. I would prefer to use the original shafts if possible. I can weld the forks and shift lever ball the wear on those parts is very little the fork has wear spot not much bigger than ball on the shift plunger. The gear shift lever ball has about the same amount of wear as the fork both are very shallow about 0.004 deep. The shafts have a wear path 0.089 long not quite 3/32 and again about 0.004 deep. I would send picture but I don't know how. Any help would be appreciated. Jerry
