Re: 29 Clutch Problem
On my wifes Tudor there is no nut and bolt on the clamp. Just a stud I brazed in. The pedal hits the clamp itself but only when hot. So when set up on a cold engine with clearance, it catches on the clamp after the manifold changes shape when hot.
After finding the pedal jammed down past the clamp as mentioned in my previous post, I decided to re set clutch fingers and free play so that clutch disengages when bottomed on the clamp. This works well, but may not be applicable to all cars,, since there is something odd in this cars clutch set up anyway. Wth the specified clutch finger clearances this particular clutch wĺill overthrow and make clattering noises if the pedal is fully down- that is pushed down past the exhaust clamp.
Who knows what has been done to some of these cars after 90 years!
