I completely agree with Andy, AnnaBelle had a very hard time with
the mechanical clutch on Rosey, now with the hydraulic clutch she
is a much happier camper, and that makes MY life much easier ...
it is critical to get the measurements correct but Herman's
instructions are outstanding and if you do it his way it is not
really a problem, I did it three times (the measurements) just to
be absolutely sure. A vernier caliper is a much needed
requirement.
