And To Go Along With My Gold Titanium Steering Box.... Here's My Clutch Assembly

[Viet Nam Vett]

Well I finished mocking up the Clutch Bracket plate from hell. I'm glad I didn't have to cut the 'Z' Bar...!!! I also received the correct Hy-Me Joint..:L From Speedirect and mounted it and did an adjustment on the disengaugement travel.

That's what's cool about this rod..you can fine tune the the "Push" on the clutch with out efecting pedal travel. Just waiting for the SS Braided Oil Pressure line to arrive this week the I can mount the Clutch Bracket for the final time.

Gotta Thank Rich L for turning me onto this linkage. Nice Piece. And Also 67 Heaven for the Fuel Pump Mounting Ideas as well as Rich L Too.

I think I might be getting carried away with the Titanium Paint ...:W

Thanks First gear...Sub Boy And John L.... Still alot to do yet. The hardest part of this conversion is mounting and figuring out the plumb of the fuel system. That's a work in progress....

How can you fine tune the push without effecting pedal travel? I have the same linkage and any adjustment on either rod end will move pedal somewhat, Right? It does on mine. I think that titanium paint looks great!

Well ..Let me see if I can figure out what I ment.... Based on this article...

If the clutch push rod is to long the bearing will be pushed to far in and cause a bind. So it is possable to shorten the rod at the clutch side and then I think readjust the pedal travel rod...and mantain the correct adjustment but have the clutch throw out bearing to far or not far enough.

does that sound right...??? Or maybe I'm wrong...:confused

Looks good ... I think it would be an improvement if you welded the black bracket to the clutch fork ... eliminating a bolt that might wear/loosen.
