Clutch Actuator
I'm re-assembling my 1929 engine/tranny now. Putting the clutch
together has left me puzzled.
The piece I call the throw out actuator (pushed forward to release the
clutch via the forks)has a tapered pipe plug (item 19) that looks like
it should use the tranny keyway to prevent rotation. I know the
actuator forks also prevent rotation, but I suspect I should have a
5/16" brass pin or something below the tapered plug. My plug has
nothing under it, not does my spare tranny.
My manual seems to show the tapered plug going right into the keyway,
but with the pieces I have here that will never happen, I can't thread
it in that far. Am I missing something?
On a related topic my pistons/bores seem to be to far gone to salvage,
I'm going to buy 3-9/16" bore Hudson 232 c.i. pistons and fit them.
