69 Notch Barracuda - Rebirth
Trashed the fuel tank grommet with a case of impatience, so waiting on another (I know exactly where I went wrong.. and will document it when completed).
Rebuilding the clutch/brake pedal assembly now... super close on this. I almost skipped pulling the brake pedal out, since the mechanism felt pretty good. But I’m glad I went further and pulled it (that little nut/bolt combo holding it made me wish my fingers were 1” longer and made of rubber) Thankfully, I was able to do this without pulling the main supporting bracket (I just didn’t want to detach my master cylinder again). I’ll do a write-up on this if nobody else has... very tricky and requires ordered steps and the use of muscles in my hand I never knew I had. So far, I’ve escaped a chipped tooth from a falling 3/8” ratchet!
Rebuild kit from Brewers is dead on! One of the original (I’m assuming) clutch bushings was totally gone.
Looking forward to seeing how the clutch rod fits. I’m hoping the pedal will feel like new.
