And the final item of the day was adjusting the clutch, which was grabbing way too high. On a hunch, I pulled the actuating rod and noticed the same wear that was on my other car. This groove was cut halfway through, eventually it would have snapped off. I will be replacing both rods: the bellcrank to fork rod, as well as the pedal to bellcrank rod as they both tend to exhibit the same wear patterns.

the metal in this might be better than the offshore repop. I have mig welded many of these and ground them round, redrill hole. Just an idea. Ill look at my 72 AC car and see whats there
