Clutch link sidevalve

Post by sevrien »

Hi,

My clutch link (thin rod coming from the pedal) just broke down.
Can somebody tell me which part I need to order on ESM or Bullmotive?

thanks

The Moss catalogue does not list the 918 linkage. I would suggest that it is easy enough to get one made and maybe cheaper to have a few made, keep a spare and sell the rest to recoup your expenditure as the setting up the tooling is the expensive bit.
Or try MMOC Club Spares.

Can you not fabricate something at least temporarily meantime - from some 8mm threaded bar ? Can you show us a picture of the offending item ??

A plastic cable tie, or two, work great!

If it is the 15cm long rod with 2 bent ends then I'd recommend 2 flat pieces of sheet steel and 2 bolts with a section of plain shaft. Does this make sense? The bent rod will be hard to make and is likely to wear out again fast.
