    Clutch Linkage Failure

    The clevis pin that connects the clutch linkage to the clutch petal FAILED in my Backbraft Cobra #1360 over the weekend. The car has only logged 2800 miles. The clevis pin was worn and sheared as I pushed on the clutch petal. I assume the clevis pin was made of stainless steel. Has anyone had such a failure? Is their a clevis pin made out of stronger material?

    Backdraft Windshield Frames

    Backdraft offers an aluminum windshield frame and a chrome over brass windshield frame. The chrome over brass windshield frame is more expensive. Is it worth the extra cost? Is it stronger than the aluminum frame? Will it reduce stress cracks in the windshield? Are both frames the same size and will they readily fit on my one year old backdraft? Are the visors and wind wings interchangeable?

    Ace Hardware. I took one of my hood screws to Ace and they had the screws and nuts. Ace has a super good inventory of hard to find screws, nuts and associated hardware. Give them a try.
