Thread: Clutch Linkage

Tweet

One of the problems in building the older cars is interior room. I like 3 pedals, so as hard as it is sometimes, and I create most of my own problems, I just like shifting these things.
I have stretched the frame on my truck 3" in the front and 5" on my roadster, knowing there is going to be issues with room. With a 5" stretch it eliminates the problem, 3" does not. Then esthetic's comes into play, I think 5" in a roadster is acceptable but not in a truck, so 3" helps but doesn't eliminate the problem.
One way to give yourself more room is to keep the clutch fork as low as possible on the bell housing and keep the fork as short as possible. So I use a scatter shield with the fork hole rotated down and make my own fork. (I wish Brian would write this maybe it would make more sense)
I hope this helps Some one.
