On the 1960 MGA 1600 I am working on the prior owner brazed an extension
of about one inch onto the end of the clutch actuating rod (rod coming
out of slave cylinder.) Any ideas why he might have done that.
The clutch may be relatively new. The engine was said to have been
rebuilt before the car went into its 20 year storage. Along with the
new parts that came with the car were old parts that had been removed
and replaced - an old grill, old bumper over riders, what appears to be
a front end trunion, and what appears to be and old clutch.
Haven't got all of the bleeding (on the hydraulics) done yet so I don't
know if the longer rod is needed for some reason or whether the new rod
I purchased will fit the bill.
Any ideas or comments appreciated.
