A quick non educational video of me replacing the clutch relay linkage and bushes in the Morris. Please excuse the lighting in the intro/exit sections.
Thanks for watching! Glad you got something from it, my films tend to not be “how to” videos but, more just bring you along for the ride kinda thing, but if it works then all good.
I'm so pleased I found this channel because I really rate your presenting style, so laid back, it's refreshing compared to some in your face channels elsewhere. I wish we were back in the old days where mechanical ruled over electrical, so much easier to fix things, alright the reliability wasn't as good but a fair trade off in my book.
@@Richard-jp8rz You're so right, I spent £80 (cheap for electrical repair, granted) but that was because I didn't want to go near it. If I had it would have cost way more as I would probably have blown sensors etc.
At least a simple old car like this is fairly owner-repair-friendly. I remember my first encounter with a car that wasn't, a rented Ford Pinto in the USA in 1980. When it broke down on the second day of my American holiday in the middle of nowhere, I opened the 'hood' (as you do), to find a heavy and seemingly immovable plastic cover over the engine gubbins with the unfriendly inscription 'No parts owner serviceable'.
Thanks for this video. I now feel confident to take a look at the clutch adjustment on my 1963 Morris. Fingers crossed that all it needs is adjustment. Where did you purchase the replacement kit from?
I did lightly lubricate the pins before assembling ( still need to do the threaded rod), I don’t want to go over board and attract loads of road dirt… but good spot non the less!
It moves a little bit because both pedals are attached to the same shaft, in my case I imagine there is a bit of dirt or rust from all the years of use, so moving one does very slightly move the other.
@@badgerlodgegarage Yes, you should ideally oil up the shaft bushes occasionally to eliminate that, else they tend to wear quite badly if left to get dry/dusty...
I Will lubricate the thread with something! I did lightly lube the pins and bushes before assembly. It’s very exposed so I don’t want to to attract too much dirt.
