I understand your concern. Had I done more than drinking buddies I would have had to charge you. You guys are only buds. Unless???

Well the arms will not work for the front they are too short but they will be perfect for the rear. Also got a heim joint for the clutch linkage and ordered the stuff needed to put threads on the rod for the slave. I got other parts coming but don't remember what they are. So it will be a surprise when they arrive.

Got some small things done today.

Cleaned up the rockers. Dirty vs clean. They came out well and everything works fine after removing the rust. There is no putting on the threads either
Full assembly.
Close up of them clean
Mock up of the clutch linkage. There will be a heim joint instead of the ball

Got the clutch line in. Went to bleed it and forgot I didn't attach it to the pedal yet that's tomorrows project.

Linkage all in place need to thread the pushrod still using a bolt till the die gets here
Low pressure line in place with clamps
