I'm not sure of the experience of other restorers, but I did find that my
TR3A restoration project had a brake/clutch pedal assembly that was
completely frozen. Of course, the car had sat for 30 years. It is now a
nice feeling to have the clutch/brake assembly redone, rebushed and lubed
and working freely...if only it weren't still in a tagged carboard box in my
cellar waiting for final installation when the car's bodywork is done and
back on the frame....
Is it true that if you have to whack this assembly to free the movement, you
gain TR list fame as a clutch hitter?
