Default 53 Ranchwagon Throwout Bearing

Ordered a clutch kit for my Ranchwagon, 3 speed, flathead, stock..Went to install the throwout bearing, and the clips for the shift fork are too close together. About 2 inches from center to center on the clips, and I need about 2 1/4. Are there various options for my application, or is this a bad manufacture? Everything else seems fine. 9.5 inch clutch, and the hub was part of the bearing. I haven't really seen any options for different throwout bearings. Any ideas? Thanks

So, come to find out the clutch kit advertised to fit the 53 ford is not quite accurate. The throwout bearing will work, but not the hub. This does me no good, because I also need the hub. I guess 53 is an odd ball. Anyway..Thanks
