I have a 55 1st series 3600. Today I swapped the non-running 235 for a rebuilt 235. In the process, I replaced the flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate. When I went to replace the clutch, I found that I had the same problem as this user:

Namely, my fork was very worn and the throwout bearing was very sloppy. I have looked around, but can't find a source of repro parts. Is there a seller of new clutch forks out there? If not, how do you repair one? Weld more material on? I'm worried that the heated metal won't have the same properties as a new part.
