Rubce Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hi AllCan someone please advise whether the two pins on the clutch actuator fork are supposed to have a flat on them? The ones on our gearbox do have flats but I am unsure if it is wear or the design.ThanksBruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGT6 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hi,The flats are due to wear, they are all like that these days, the hard bit is finding one with not too much wear.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubce Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hmmmm, has anybody successfully replaced the dowels? I did that with our Stag as the dowels are by Paddocks etc, Having looking at Paddocks, Canley nd Rimmers none of them adverse the GT6 dowels.CheersBruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Should they be hardened? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 M Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Rich beat me too it,or sorts.Depending on what ye used, they may be really soft,as compared to others.just like grades of bolts.But most likely,they will see you oot.One other note, if the originals are worn,then the thrust holder seems as though its spinning aroond.is the wee pins in it still there, they there to stop it spinning.M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubce Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 HiI am confident that the pins will outlast the clutch. I will probably be taking the car apart again in 10 years time so it will be interesting to see how they have fared. The equivalent pins in the Stag aren't hardened.The bearing carrier had two grooves worn in it where the fork pins had been resting. One of those slots was adjacent to the pin which was still in position. I have drilled the carrier at about 60degrees from that position and inserted another pin. One of the new fork pins is now situated in the area between the two small pins in the carrier so it won't be spinning.RegardsBruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
