Its all a bit tight in there... you can even see the V from DATs previous hacksaw bodge. In the interest of the clutch staying together we think it's good to keep the restraining disk in but we need to create a bit of room for it.
The best and permanent solution (only one?) seams to be to refabricate the clutch pedal arm so it doesn't angle into the clutch and there's therefore enough clearance of the toggles and the restraining disk.
Here's Jon making a cardboard verison and me cutting it out and a 'strap on' wooden template (note the technical markings showing how it lines up on the old arm) The clutch arm and template are heading South in Jon's van as I blog....
Very good blogging dear. I liked the reference to the strap on template.....hope no-one gets wrong idea though.
Brian was v kind and invited me in for a cup of tea, but unfortunately I had almost lost the will to live by then, and had I taken up the offer I'd probably end up there for several days!Still, he is a doctor so perhaps I should have....
Enough rambling,v excited re your new transmission set up-let me know when the pedals ready and I'll be back!
