CLUTCH PEDAL BLUES

Greetings! I wanted to post this video of the hydraulic clutch linkage bracket I made today.

The linkage currently under the dash doesn't provide a deep enough plunge for the master cylinder to completely disengage the clutch. This bracket should correct that. 

I've posted a picture of the completed bracket. This gives the master cylinder plunger a straight shot and has enough spherical rod ends to make the action smooth. I don't think the operator will notice the complexity of the mechanism at all. The problem it corrects is insufficient plunger travel. 

Here's a couple of pictures of the passenger taillight. By a total freak act of nature it was hit by a small meteorite while parked in my yard, and it dented the taillight housing. I used a hammer and dolly to pound it roughly to shape from the inside of the trunk and then finished it off with my stud gun and a slide hammer. You can see a small split where the seam is above and below the opening. Just to keep it from cracking later, I welded these cracks and ground them smooth. I've got several studs stuck in the trunk lid as i work out the big crease somebody left there. It had nearly a half inch of bondo filling it in, rather than pulling the dent. Not so now. 

Thanks for check out my blog. I'm hoping to get this little coupe into the paint shop pretty soon. Check back!
