I was hoping to take it out on its maiden voyage at that point. Got a seat installed, put a fire extinguisher in the cabin and hopped in.
Pushed down the clutch pedal and grabbed the gear shift to pull it into reverse...
Nothing...
Pushed harder, grind...
Clutch isn't engaging. Damn.
Opened the Obsolete Auto flyer and ordered up a Clutch Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder and hose.
The most challanging part of this job is reaching the lower fastener on the front of the master cylinder. It needs to be reached from inside, under the dash through the firewall using long wobble extensions.
Not easy.
Installation of the slave cylinder and hose was pretty straightforward. The only wrinkle is that the slave ships with the bleeder in the wrong hole for some reason. Get this wrong and the system can't be bled in the conventional way.
I used the reverse bleed method anyway, pushing fluid up from the slave rather than trying to pump air out of the bleeder. Worked great.
