Clutch spring extension wire

[FatherFiat]

I installed a new clutch in my '78 during the recent restoration. I have the external spring for the throwout arm, but have managed to lose the extension wire, which connected it to the tranny case. Does anyone out there know how long that wire should be? I am currently depending only on the pedal spring to keep the clutch arm where it should be.

Thanks,

If that is the one, here you go:





Now watch me loose mine... Better put it back before I do...

I will sell mine for.... 1 billion dollars!!

will you take a check?

I believe if you unfold a paper clip it will be the same size, but i probably would double it up for strength

will you take a check?

I am very careful with accepting checks... I only accept checks from a nigerian bank.

how about cash ??

Of course, legal tender is also accepted.

Now, back to the main topic...

FatherFiat, was that what you were looking for??

"unobtainium" No such thing. I've got 2 or 3 of them, the spring too. matt.scarton@gmail.com

Thanks for the reply(s) guys. But if you lose or break yours, just get a length of piano wire, about 1mm in diameter, and bend your own. A little heat won't hurt when bending, but quench it afterwards to avoid softening the steel.

only a mm ?? wow, that's kinda narrow, 'eh?
