I copied my Wilwood clutch and brake pedals, made them out of steel. They had to be shortened from the original length to clear the bottom of the foot box. I wanted them to mount in the top of the footbox rather than from the bottom. Not sure where that puts me as far as stroke is concerned.

Bled the clutch master and slave again, can't tell much difference. I plan to turn the motor over using the crankshaft pulley bolt tomorrow and see what happens. If it's stuck, maybe that will loosen it up.

I had a local shop rebuild the Borg & Beck pressure plate, reline the clutch disc and turned the flywheel.
Also bought and installed a new throw out bearing that he supplied. The shop owner said the pressure plate was "one of the good ones" for motors under 400 hp.

Just curious: how strong should the return spring be?


Thanks,

Jim
