More chassis

Next in line for the spanner is the throttle, brake and clutch pedals, a straightforward strip out, disconnecting the master cylinder, and the clutch pull rod, the assembly the looks like this -

















The shaft can be taked apart by drawing of the bearing housing at the bottom of the photo, the clutch actuating rod in the top of the photo then comes off, then the braket, then drive out the pin through the clutch arm, then the ring holding the brake arm to the shaft and hey presto, ready for cleaning, plating and reassembly.

The brake master cylinder comes out, new brakets will be made, the cylinder itself cleaned and lightly honed to clean the bore, new rubbers sourced - the Lagonda club kit is wrong - fit a bedford truck I think...

Eventually we get to the lubrication system pipework, but thats a different story!
