Listers,
In Terry Andrew's article "P-Type Chassis Evaluations" circa1982, he mentions
a factory accessory "clutch stop" priced at 3 guineas plus 2 pounds 10
shillings for installation. The article states that this item was made and
offered by Colmore, agents in Manchester. The price of a crank at the time
was 6 pounds.
Obviously, this wasn't the extended bolt in the bellhousing that acts as the
clutch stop in MMM cars. What were they referring to?
>From the same article it quotes the factory file of PA 0255, originally owned
and trialed by W.H.Haden, that the factory was considering the fitment of one
of these stops to his car. This PA is owned now by Peter Ross. Perhaps, being
on this list Peter, you can shed some light as to whether or not it was
actually fitted to your PA.
