Transmission Tower Fork Shaft

[Dave1931Pickup]

After searching all of the suppliers catalogs and calling most of them I can not find the correct Shift Fork Shaft (A-7240) for Low and Reverse. All of the current reproduction shafts have machined ramps between the detent grooves. Does anyone know where to buy the correct style like Henry made them?
Thanks in advance, Dave

All the originals I have seen have the ramps?

Originals did not have ramps for the detents. What you are seeing are wear marks from years of shifting.

I just looked at Snyders shift shaft and all there are is the 3 grooves
for the detent ball to pop into. No ramps.

I bought new shafts from Brattons last year.
The top shaft is the low and reverse I removed.
The 2nd shaft, 2nd and hig gear is new, no ramps.
The bottom two were new from Brattons.
The new bottom with ramps, low and reverse, was received with surface rust in the packaging.
Bratton’s told me they were all like that

Looks like after packaging surface protection might have been lacking.

Most of the venders have not updated their catalog pictures.

I believe that most of the suppliers get their shafts from the same source. The repo 2nd and high shafts don't have ramps, just the low and reverse shafts.
