I'm quite familiar with the 80 Spitfire clutch arrangement but I have 
no idea what you're talking about!  "The pushrod was laying on the 
bottom of the bracket"?  Umm, did you check the framistan or the 
widget adjustment mechanism? :-)

I can think of nothing that would be called a pushrod that would be 
worth replacing!  Are you talking about something on the pedal end or 
the slave end?

(You'll probably get three copies of this reply, one to you and one 
to each of the lists.  Sorry about the redundancy, and also the 
repetition too.)
