custom made Clutch push rod
1. The thread for securing the speedo drive is stripped - has been forever - time to fix it.
2. Clutch push rod snapped when it fell out onto the workshop floor
Repaired the thread in the gearbox. To keep swarf out of the cavity I inserted an aluminum plug which kept things clean.
I then thought why stay with the felt strategy. Why not use an "O" ring. Below is my custom made push rod.
I opted to induce the "O" rings to slide along the inside diameter of the input shaft rather than sliding on the push rod it's self.
Logic was to prevent the rings from tripping up on each other by having free shaft area to move around on.
If it all starts leaking I will explore the alternative.
Cheers

OZ is a beautiful place! We have been there a few times. Retiring there is definitely on my list of possible countries I would be happy to live.

Re: custom made Clutch push rod
If this design fails then I guess a different approach can be tried.
Any suggestions are of course welcome.
