Re: Pedals rocking ?

Sorry for not getting back before, but the Surgeon needed to adjust my `bits and pieces` in hospital. Anyway, after not being able to remove the clutch and brake pedals from under the car, I removed most of the drivers side floor to see what was amiss..... OOPS !!! there was a crack in the `box` its...

Pedals rocking ?

:roll: The clutch pedal on my `Traveller` rocks a little from side to side, and the brake pedal more so. I imagine a bearing or bush is worn, but please,....where do I start ?

:D Hi Folks, some time ago I asked all of you for imput as to the merits (or not), in fitting discs and servo to my traveller(Nellie). As I am now turned 70 (still VERY young in mind at least), the results are, in my case terrific. My left `tin` knee is comfortable on the clutch, and my painful righ...

Thanks guys, I really enjoyed reading all your comments on `discs` versus drums. I drove `old` minors when they were not Classics (I`m probably a lot older than most of you). The reason (in my mind) I am fitting discs and servo to my 70 Traveller is that I have recently had a total knee replacement,...
