Getting It In Gear When Hot

Started to look at fitting the screen any tips?

Most people find fitting the screen at a slight angle on top of the shiny bit just in front of the driver is best.

You need to replace the clutch cable with a new one, the damage will have been done already, when you take it off you'll be surprised at the resistance, mine could only be moved when yanked with a pair of pump pliers, in contrast the new one slides up & down by it's own weight!!

If you are going to fit a hood then the measurement over the rollover bar to the rear panel is critical.

 

But if you haven’t already bought a hood set then don’t bother just fit the screen where you want it and either buy or make yourself a surrey (easy) and either buy or make yourself sidescreens (Not easy) This is what I would do if I was to build again, my hood is in the loft and has been for about 2 years and I use my car all year round.

 

As for the actual fitting I found the video to be not too bad in this case one of the few bits Richard did cover farley well.

bit late again - just adjust the clutch by hand - depress the pedal and hold the quadrant - you will hear the ratchet click a couple of times - should work fine.

 

only problem is that you may lose the adjustment if you inadvertantly lift the clutch pedal - but its easy to redo.

I'd stick to boats.... that's BS...

Just one thought, it may be that there is wear on the 1st gear syncro, reverse dosn,t have one and is the clutch worn badly ???.

I agree with Dan the quadrant is released from the pawl each time you take your foot off the clutch. If not then its set wrong I have seen this happen when people have bent the pawl release arm out of the way but don’t do it as you can get into a position where the clutch clears ok but the release bearing is not allowing the clutch to engage fully and causing it to slip.
