Yes, it is possible to build them up.
Assuming A7 ones are aluminium-bronze this may help you:

I have done tractor selectors (the 'gate' where the gear lever is supposed to slot in) with the arc welder and high nickel content sticks, but I suspect that might be a bit much for car selector forks!
Edit: I have just checked several (modern) service publications and I note that the standard clearance for a lot of them is in the order of 0.10 - 0.40 mm (~ 0.004 - 0.016 ") and some allow up to 1mm/0.040".
A lot don't specify, I suspect someone will pop up with an empirical maximum clearance for an A7
