Simple clutch. This is the master cylinder mounted under the dash and the modified pedal. The pivot arm of the pedal was centred relative to the pedal box and then moved closer to the firewall to gain some push rod stroke. I have to pull out the pedal box again to paint the welds still. The clutch line will run through a blocking plate on the original cable clutch firewall hole down to the slave, naturally. The reservoir will likely do the same thing and mount at the top of the firewall. I don’t really like the look of a reservoir hanging out around the dash all race car-ish. I started the second university semester this week so progress has somewhat slowed which is unfortunate. I have a half sheet of steel on order now for the tunnel which I should be able to collect this week hopefully. I need to pick up a new regulator for the oxy-acetylene set too, so I can start bending. I only truly realised how stupid the seating position is in my truck too after not driving it for ages, no wonder why tall people hate B120s.
