Unbeknown to me the split pin holding the clevis pin in place on the end of the slave cylinder push rod had decided to part company with the result that the pin was slowly working itself out reducing the amount of travel. Basically I wasn’t getting full clutch. I remember it being a long walk back along that beach and in the dark by this time. A friendly farmer pulled me out the next day with his tractor and his neighbour welded the stick back on. Still going strong when I sold it years later.

Remember Grover,

Looks good to me!
