Trying to help a fellow out

New member here, so I apologize if I am posting in the wrong area. I've been searching out a rotary car for myself, and in the process, met an older gentleman who has a 75 RX3 Wagon he bought new. Someone has messed the car up however in a botched clutch job, and he is in need of a clutch fork and throwout bearing carrier. If anyone can be of any help, I'd like to see this car back on the road, even if I'm not the one driving it. Thanks in advance!

He can use an 81-85 rx-7 or 78-80 clutch fork and t/o bearing. In fact, 78-80 are identical.

I take it that means the bearing carrier is the same as well? Any thoughts on where to source such parts? I'd imagine they are a junkyard item?

you can put an ad in the for sale section for the clutch fork and see what comes up and t/o bearing link below.

Link for throwout bearing.

I have a RX-3 clutch fork , I thought it was different than the Rx-7 ones. I'll check it it out when I have time.
