Dick -
I tossed the plate, and the clutch, but kept the koyo bearing.. Hey,
I don't want to pull the box again until next year....
I'll get a small level out and check the pushrod, if it shows close
to 0deg, I'll leve it, other wise I may straighten it, tho it's an
easy 'do it later item'
I don't know what's a tougher job, a 1-armed paper hanger or a 1
person dirveway mechanic, removing, refitting gearboxes.... it's in,
final items to play with tomorrow are wires, covers, carpets and
seats. - plus the new pin from the pedal to slave pushrod!
slow, sure, and drivin' by 3PM! -- That's the plan, anyway...

: Ken---Putting 'slightly used' clutch back in is always a tough

rivets, on

to not

it

from

of

during
