clutch pedal pushrod pic?

[pvfjr]

Anybody have a pic of one? I need to send one to somebody to ask them how easily they think they could lengthen it or make a new one. I'm thinking body lift, and want to get all the bugs worked out first so I don't have any down time.

If no one can get this by tonight, I have one I can take a pic of and post. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

That would be sweet. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I can't really get a good pic that shows what its really like while its in the truck. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I happen to have one lengthened for a 2" body lift in my garage waiting to go in my K5 (unless I can find hydro stuff).

 

[pvfjr]

Wish I had one. That's the amount of lift I was thinking of too. Could you take some measurements too? Like diameters of the rod and the ends, the length, offset to the side? He might be able to make a new one if he knew enough.

Sure /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I'm sorry but I've temporarily failed you. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I couldn't find my pushrod last night. I've got parts on work benches, in boxes and on shelves everwhere in my garage so finding it was trickier than I thought. I'll hit it again this afternoon and find it.

Sorry /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif

 

[pvfjr]

No problem.

GM dealer here told me the hydro rebuild kits are discontinued and quoted me outragious $ for new master/slave
I had to stoop to the Raybestos stuff for my cost 25% less
the slave pushrod on the Raybestos is a loose item though??

I never thought about it until MJ's reply but you are talking about the vertical pushrod for a mechanical clutch set up, right? If you are...


I have added an album to my Webshots page with your name in the title. There are 3 pics showing the pushrod (the whole thing, the weld and one end). The album should be viewable 30 minutes after the time for this post.

A body lift will include a piece of rod the same length as the lift pucks. Typically you'd cut your rod and add this pice to lengthen it. For mine I only have one weld because I had two push rods so I cut both and welded the opposite pieces together to achieve the ultimate length.

Just fyi - the turned ends are different lengths, the short one goes to the pedal and the long to the lower clutch linkage.

Oh, and yeah, I'm talking about mechanical clutch. Don't know nothin about that hydro stuff...

Man, you've got to love the Spicers! TARussell and I were lucky enough about 8 years ago to buy some *new* hubs in the box (1 pair for each of us @ $120 per hub), man I wish I had bought more now. I've got 4 sets now but not all of the parts in each set are good. Anytime I see a set I try to buy them (except Ebay though, man they bring a lot of money there).
