I am not getting all the travel I need to fully actuate my clutch...so I decided to modify the lever arm down at the pedal cluster. I added a tab above the original hole and have made effectively a two hole lever arm. The stock hole is retained...and the new hole is about 3/4" above it to allow more travel/throw. I have a KEP stage 1 pressure plate and it requires more travel to actuate. By making the lever arm longer...a much stronger force is transmitted into the clutch shaft in the pedal box. I have found that the roll pin hole on the clutch shaft gets ovaled and the shaft itself becomes distorted when applying this King Kong force to it. As it is made only of mild steel, I have decided to repair the distorted/ ovaled end and weld it all up and grind round again. Next step...weld the fricken clutch pedal casting to the pedal box clutch shaft...hopefully eliminating the distortion damage under load. NO MORE ROLL PIN. (carry an extra cable every where I go...I know) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I'll report back later and let you know how it worked. If I made things worse and a new pedal cluster is necessary...it won't be the end of the world. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
ANYONE EVER RESORT TO SUCH TACTICS?
