[Mg-t] TD clutch rod broke

[PopeyMike at aol.com]

Hello New Zealand:
 
Visited there in 1998 and again in 2001 - I still think it is the most  
beautiful and peaceful country in the world to live in.
 
Same thing happened to me about 10 years ago.  I just took a piece of  
steel tubing that fit tight over the top of the rod and brazed it in  place.  It 
has worked well for me since.  Never need to replace the  rod or make it 
out of anything more stronger.

Giday T  people

Spring in New Zealand, so took the TD to work the other day. On  the way 
home
the bottom clutch rod snapped just at the start of the thread  at the 
front. I
got home under my own steam without the clutch  -  although intersections 
were
exciting!

This was a new Moss part 3500  miles ago so a bit annoyed. I have ordered
another Moss one to get mobile  again but I was wondering if I should use 
the
old one as a pattern to get a  new one made up in stronger steel  using the
original yoke? Perhaps in  stainless.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If I do get one  made up what is 
the
best type of metal to  specify?

Cheers

Douglas
