Agree with Steven, I've fixed many of these clutch perches with a 10mm helicoil, a grit blast and a coat of black paint.... Like new!

I know what you mean, every perch you seem to find has that unwanted micro switch fitment from the later machines.

If it's the 77th A4 assembled, then your frame number no. should be : 85778. I've got the 208th A4 made. Just out of interest what is the month of manufacture as shown on the white sticker ?
