I've ordered Brattons Part Number 11361 -- it's getting difficult for me to get down!!
Anyone using this item plz? I'd post a photo, but don't know how.
Tks

Yes, works great. Makes it easier to adjust the clutch. No need to pull pins.

Getting back up is the issue.

Paul Shill does a video on the adjustment.

Hydraulic clutch linkages are self adjusting. Has anyone installed a hydraulic clutch linkage in a Model A?

It is called a trunnion for original style.

Nice slide Bob but you need to do a flippy-moto on the new part.

Is the threaded portion strong enough to hold up (and not snap) over the long-haul? Thee (original type) trunions sometimes snap, and the car lunges forward with no clutch. The owner needs to quickly turn off the ignition to keep from hitting the car in front of them.

Sorry, rfitzpatrick. I was referring to Bobs slide, not the piece itself.

I have had mine installed for ~9 years (9/21/2014 to be exact) with no issues.

cristeven · 12-20-2023, 08:31 PM

has anyone ever used one of these fully threaded units on the multi-disc clutch? I was recently disappointed when i noticed nobody sells a pre-Nov '28 version of this part - nor do they tell you in their catalog that what you're buying won't work on those cars.

Actually I'm having quite a rough go at this -- working alone. I first installed Brattons Clutch Release Shaft - Brattons P/N 11270. Now trying to mate this to Brattons P/N 11361. P/N 11270 is a tad longer thn original/ This is not a one-man job by far.
Has anyone used theses to P/N's together?

Yes, those are the exact parts I am using. No issues. I like the longer Clutch Release arm as it make it a little easier to push the Clutch Pedal.

The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
