There is a response to a similar question on the CAT Forum a while back with a
part number and source as well as info on how to modify a more frequently found
fork to make it work. Never saw any response to it as to whether it worked out
or not. Have a look at
http://catmbr.org/VB_forum/showthread.php?t=1874&highlight=clutch+fork for the
details.
My trans and clutch are out of my car right now too. If the info in the above
link does not work for you, I can make a hand drawing of the fork end with
approximate dimensions and e-mail it to you if you still need it. Let me know.
