172 Gearbox DIY Repair Troubles

Hello gents!

Part of my clio 172 restoration project, the gearbox needed attention.

I planned synchros, bearings and resealing.
Box parts arrived, pulled the box and took it apart , hoping for quick job.

If only I knew what I would discover when I tear the box apart:

1. The 1/2 synchros that the renault specialist provided( 326 190 209 R) are not the correct type and won't fit. See attached (left new synchro - right the original) . All 3 syncro parts are different.

Question - what is the correct part number ans where can I buy the part?

2. The "spring clip" (IDK what's the roght term) were broken - I got lucky the magnet caught the bits and they did not ruin the gears! (See attached)
But now I need to source them somewhere.
Question: what is the part number and where can I buy these?

3. The selector fork plastic tip was broken(see pics) .
Question : are those tips sold separately? Has anyone 3D printed/improvised smth?
Should I look for the whole selector fork?

Any help appreciated!

Stuck with a car on stands in the driveway with grumpy neighbors and gearbox on bench at home with a crossed missus (((

Royal screwup.

Thanks for reply!
Yeah, shot an email to the Polish guy that sent me the wrong ones (type A) in the first place, hope he'd be decent enough to provide the correct replacement.
Any idea what the part number if type B is?

And the spring part that broke, PMS sells "3/4 synchro springs, set of 3" is that what I need to replace my broken spring (in the picture) ?
Any idea what the part number is?

1/2 Fork part number? I'll try to find one..

I have no idea on part numbers for them mate.

I would imagine the new syncro should fit surely? seeing as Pure sell them.

@NorthloopCup @Mr Trailer Man
Thanks both!
Getting the Syncro kit from PMS after they confirm, only other way is to change the whole 1/2 gear selector assembly to make it compatible with the new style Synchros.

Did some digging on the other part numbers, hope someone can have a look :

1/ Synchro spring - 32 60 217 16R
Looks different to mine in the picture and with all the different style 1/2 synchros , just not sure if it's going to fit ..
Any advice appreciated.

SELECTOR FORK probably it is 82 00 177 391 for the 1/2 Fork . Couldn't find any gearbox compatibility info.

How crucial this plastic fork tip is?
Can I put it together without it?

@NorthloopCup you did a million of these, WDYT?
