Brake and Clutch Pedals


Installed the Brake and Clutch Pedals.
The bushes are very tight (intrference fit) you will need to press these home using a vice or suitable clamp. Any powder coating inside the bush housing may need to be removed to make it easier (dremel with sanding flapper).
The M10x160mm bolt goes in from the centre of the car and the M10 nyloc nut is fitted on the near side (your right if sat in the drivers seat - looking forward!!) with a washer at either end.





Refurbished Parts

After much cleaning, wire brushing and painting the Differential, Gearbox, Half shafts and Steering Column are finally looking good enough to be installed.
