Angry Ehhrggg, Standed by a Set-Screw

Out on a back country road, coming out of a turn, big downshift, and WHOA! my foot must have missed the entire clutch pedal. Nope, clutch pedal went all the way to the floor with NO pressure whatsoever and stays there. Limp to the side of the road and call for a flatbed tow. Got it back to the garage and when I peeked under it here is what I find. Hmmm, tough diagnosis.



Note the set-screw. Bob P. -- any reason I shouldn't Loctite that set-screw so this doesn't happen again?



As a side note the flatbed guy didn't think he could get the Cobra up on his flatbed by pulling it without the cables hurting the front glass (I had pulled off the road UP a steep incline). Sooooo, the only way to get it up on the flatbed was to start it in gear and drive it up on the bed and hit the brakes and kill the engine before driving into his cab. Oh yeah, don't want to do that again.
