[Healeys] Clutch fork and throttle linkage Feedback

[Tim Davis BN7]

I have been asking for a lot of advice lately regarding removing the clutch fork and removing the throttle linkages for the purpose of replacing the bushings. First off I want to thank all of the members who have taken the time to help me...THANKS! 
I have managed to do these tasks now and wanted to share some photos, they may not make sense to many of you but if you have attempted this you'll understand. Initially the clutch fork was the big issue as I am changing my transmission but now it seems simple compared to the throttle shaft. I wanted to change the bushes before I installed the trans. and I could not see it getting done with the trans in place even though many of you have accomplished this I didn't want to try it. I was able to do this from inside the car and have sent some photos of what I used. Grinding about 3/16" off the end of a 7/16" 12 pt socket and a wobble extension in the socket enabled me to get the socket onto the bolt head and getting the mirror in the right place was the key. 
It took about 2 days of trial and error, e-mailing and waiting for answers but once I got the right tool combination it took about 1 hour. I was amazed.
