I'm starting the mission to the road tomorrow. What should I do first? The clutch slave cylinder repair, the refurb of the rear brakes, gease and refit the prop shaft, weld the exhaust hole, or fix the fuel bowl leak?
Interesting. You have a clutch earlier than your car I think. Most sources say the Mk2 went straight to a diaphragm clutch but I think the first few Mk2s had the same coil spring clutch as the Mk1 like yours. But a '66 should definitely have a diaphragm clutch. Clutch slave and prop first then you can get the tunnel back in.
Thanks Steve, yes getting the interior tidy again is probably a good idea. I think the clutch must have come with the donor engine, maybe from a herald. Though it is also a 9 spring design rather than the typical 6, I have no idea whether they were also in the parts bin or from somewhere entirely different.
@@jamesfromwellington Hey James/Steve. Working on my '64 and it has the same 9 spring clutch cover that I see in this video, but to buy a replacement they only show 6 springs, so I'm hoping to just stay with what's there. Also, a question- who is your preferred parts supplier? Living over her in USA, I put together a list of $70 worth of parts and was then facing a $50 shipping charge- for a bunch of gaskets and bolts... just curious, I'm looking at Rimmer Bros, Moss, and James Paddock. Thanks!
@@ericbiletzky4544 Hi Eric, I tend to use Rimmerbros as they have most things in stock and have been mostly good to deal with. I usually save up and place big orders (nz$1000 at a go) so the freight doesn't hurt so much. They do have a mail option for really small, light orders but don't use it as it takes months.
