Preliminary work to make the Cortina pedal work the Mazda clutch:

drilled a hole in the pedal to replicate the Mazda offset.
Made new, cross-drilled clevis pin and nylon spacer.

That will be enough to position the master cylinder, but I don't think there will be enough adjustment in the pushrod. If that's the case, I'll make a longer one with a more robust clevis that doesn't need a spacer.

The hole in the Mazda pedal is 10mm but the pin is 8mm. I find that odd. I discovered it after I had drilled a new 10mm hole in the pedal.[/quote]


Long, hard day at work today.

Took me 2.5 hrs to do the 36 miles to Denmark Hill to Kings College Hospital, and two hours back.

Loads of change there, including parking area now a building site.

Only parking available is a private carpark, charging £4.00 per hour or part of it. 3hrs 10 minutes was £16.00 grinds my balls.

Anyway, got in just after 5.00pm and tired.


Then I see your report and my day suddenly turns grand.


Thank you for getting on with these jobs, making my life a breeze Nick.
