I am currently fitting a new clutch master cylinder to my Hunter. In spite of cutting a second access hole in the top of the bulkhead it is still a nightmare to get at. OK to remove but reassembly looks like tomorrow it will try my patience (and back) to the limit!
I have always had a lot of sideways movement in the clutch pedal and the strip down reveals that although the standard Sierra top hat plastic bushes have been used there was about 0.5mm clearance on diameter between them and both the pedal cross tube and the mounting bolt / sleeve!
I have spent a few hours today rolling up shim stock to try and improve things. Ideally I would like to have a couple of bronze bushes made up but need to get the job done before Castle Combe this Saturday so no time to take the pedal box out either. Oh to have a lathe of my own! There was also no locknut behind the clevis so that was not very secure either! Peter.
