An old timer once told me. "Just tighten the bolts til the head breaks off, then back off a quarter turn." With a 3/8 drive ratchet, you're not likely to break those clutch bolts.( 22 minutes)

Another great vid in the series!

If you safety the bolts between the hinged fingers you could do so where the the safety is wire is an "S" shape where if one bolt tries to loosen the other ones tightens.

Yes, it's kind of mind boggling all of the very smart people from that time. I wonder what they would think today? Thanks for watching!

WOW ! Tolerance between .15 & .27 ?!? That an amazing range. It's crazy what was acceptable those years ago.

Yes, a different time and different materials. Plus they were built to be repaired! Thanks for watching!

So is the tolerance some ware between.015 to .027 or any number that feels close enough so long as you can’t stick your finger between the drums😂😂😂😂😂

I'm wondering if my '26 is needing the clutch fingers adjusted? When I shift to high the car jerks and bangs into gear. I do dump the throttle and sometimes even retard the spark. Also I have tried shifting earlier and later.

Ebay is still a good resource as well as the classified section of the MTFCA site. I have a lot of my own stash by attending auctions and watching facebook marketplace for parts or partial T's. Another good source is some of the vendors such as Langs. They have some used options on parts as well. Thanks for watching!
