I do have a good spring on the bottom hole of the fork pulling the fork in the opposite direction. (that return spring isn't in the picture)
You need free-play on the clutch pedal.
If not, your throwout bearing will not last too long.
(I've got a friend who rests his foot lightly on the clutch pedal.
He's on his third throwout bearing in less than a hundred thousand miles.)
Parts houses have springs with a short coil and long straight run of wire on one end.
Made expressly for clutch and/or brake pedals.
Good one Bob.
I didn't think about the brake lights going on when the clutch was depressed.C9
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
