Bell Housing problems

I Have a 1972 f-250 390 2wd.

Last year I had the clutch assm replaced and the mechanic told me he had to do some creative riveting to get the clutch fork lever to stay on.

Well now the lever has come off, and the trans shop say's that they don't rivet this part back on because they allways come off. And I should not use a scrapyard replacement since they have the same problem.

So any Idea's or input would be greatly appreciated. Can I buy a new bellhousing? Where?

Don't know of a new one but I have a used bell housing. Why can't you bolt it back on and use some red loctite?

I guess the rivets just fell out of the old bracket and the mechanic says that if we put in larger rivets they will just do the same later, or crack the bell housing.
