Back In The Saddle


Hello All,

My '67 SB is back on the road and running great!

To recap my problem: Went to start my car clutch pedal fell to the
floor.

Problem: As correctly diagnosed by the esteemed Mr. Keith Park - One of
the arms which holds the throw out bearing broke off the shaft.

While I was in there put in a new clutch and throw out bearing. That
annoying clutch chatter is gone, shifts easier....  very nice.

My car has had very little work done to it over the last 11 years. I've
had it for almost a year, and it sat in a garage for the ten years
before that.  So everytime I do any work on it, its an adventure to see
what is going to go wrong while doing the repair.  This time, while
pulling the engine,  the big round bellows rubber gasket cracked in half
a dozen places rendering it useless,  and all the paper hoses
disintegrated upon removal.

How tough are those rubber bellows things to come by?  I bought an NOS
one for $30.00
and a used back up for $15.00.  I see them in West Coast Metric for
about $15.00 repro.
But a friend told me last time he called, there was no availability. 
Any one out there know how easy/hard they are to come by for future
reference?

With my car back....I'll Drive!

Charlie
