Finished roughing out the clutch pedal and linkage, has taken forever.

Here is the overall look of the thing, before any tidy up I must add!

Doesn't this pull the rod forward rather than push it back or is the master cylinder at the front ..?

Yes Steve. pressing the pedal rotates the couple forwards pulling the rod and therefore pulling the clutch arm forward, pressing the thust bearing into the clutch thrust plate. No hydraulics involved Smiley

Just an observation Andy, are you going to fit some bushes to your linkage where steel rod runs through steel tube?  If not, you will probably end up with the shafts starting to seize in the tubes, when water gets in, even if you have them well greased.

Hi Mendalot. not sure i have the skills for that / dont know how. I was going to nickle plate them and fit grease nipples, then put felt washers in each joint to keep the grease in / water out. suppose i should look up how to make and fit a bush!
