hi gals and guys, my 1st time here.my original hq 350 manual has a modified/repaired/wrecked linkage from pedal to clutch. as its original, l don,t really want to go hydraulic, but might have to.
its a muncie rockcrusher box and has a weird set up from the bell housing to the pedal. has anyone had dealings with this set up. l,ve tried phil bartello to the castlemaine rod shop with no luck. any advise or help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

hi there tinkerbell can you explain more on this linkage does it run from the fire wall to the clutch fork or is it inside ,i don,t know much about hq,s but will ask around for you and see what i can find.
cheers bob...

hi bob,thanks for the reply, been trying to put an exploded veiw onto this reply with no luck. its p66 in the hq statesman/holden parts catalogue. l,ll try to explain, l,m no mechanic so you,ll have to forgive my descriptions.
theres a rod from the fork heading paralell with the bell housing, it joins a horizontal lever and rod assembly with a pivot point on the bell housing.its operated by a shaft from the clutch pedal with a tongue on the end.the shaft is held in place by a cast bracket bolted in 2 spots to the bell housing(called a bracket & shaft assembly) with a bearing in the top for the shaft to move in.the 2 brackets are on mine are home made monstrousitys.do you know how to paste? or whatever to send a drawing. l think that would help.
anyway, thanks
cheers

hi alan
went to A&B holden wrecker at slackes ck today he has a complete ass there and some parts best thing to do is give him a ring and have a chat with him ,talk to andrew there ph is 0738081678.
said it may depend on what type of box you are useing
cheers bob.....

hi bob, followed up your lead, didn,t have the bits but, said to send them down as he knows some people who make 1 offs for him, sounds like its worth a try, you never know, might get a spare set if they can do it. just got to get time to get to townsville to get the parts. keep your ears open though and l,ll keep you up dated. thanks very much for your help so far. l.ll catch up with you one day. was hoping to get to eastern creek on fathers day but my staff will be away. thats life!
