Swifty - Thanks for those extra details.
Even more reason to take my time and get it right.

Spooky Timing…
Having just posted that I felt my car was in safe hands, they sent me some photos this evening.
As predicted by some of you on here, my seized clutch pedal was a master cylinder problem.
So that has been removed.
And been rebuilt.
Which means the really good news is the clutch itself doesn't need to be removed.
My ham fisted shearing off of a bolt in the drum brake had been drilled out and re-tapped.
Before:

The value clearances have seen set.
This is actually the first time I've seen under the rocker cover.
The fact I couldn't get the engine to fire up may have had something to do with this.
Yes, I added fresh petrol to the tank, but didn't clean out the old petrol from here.

Given some of the low points of this build, this is all a very positive and exiting time for me.
So to quote
Swifty's reply, "Happy days ahead".
Cheers, Paul.
