[QUOTE="Phil Baker, post: 32695, member: 2693"] Ah. Found out why the clutch was not functioning correctly. Clutch actuating arm was fitted with the external dimple facing out towards the gearbox casing and, when we had to investigate further, the arm itself was missing the bottom section and had been glued in with heavy grease. A bit of excellent welding by a friendly local garage, hole-drilling by a tool company (cobalt drill - these arms are HARD!) and some grinding and reshaping by me and we have a working clutch arm. The adjuster was not running smoothly in the outer casing either so more 1200 grade wet and dry. Now it's all smooth action and I'll be making a new pushrod from silver steel very soon. The break in the arm was obviously an old fracture and the bit was not in the bottom of the gearbox so it had been put together like that. Phil [/QUOTE]
