Greetings all .... as I progress with the rebuild I've got to the point where I can take the bulk of the car (minus wings and bonnet) for a trundle down the track to test all the mechanics out ... the engine runs smoothly and the brakes and steering seem to work just fine.


Only issue is the clutch doesn't fully disengage ..... new friction plate, pressure plate and thrust bearing fitted .... the clutch is cable actuated and I've adjusted out all the play I dare (don't want to be pre-loading the thrust bearing) .... lots of posibilities for me to check, but before I go any deeper can anyone here with a cable operated crossflow car measure how far the clutch release arm (white arrowed in pic) moves when the clutch is depressed

I suspect the geometry of the pedal etc has changed during complete strip down and rebuild but I don't want to chase that down to the point where I put over-much pressure on the release fingers of the pressure plate by having excessive release arm movement.

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers

K
