Adjustable Clutch Pushrod.. Can they be fitted?

Big 240 · Jan 16th, 2023, 10:00

My master clutch cylinder yoke is badly worn onto an oval hole. Instead of replacing the whole thing, can you just replace the pushrod with an adjustable one, or even a standard one?

These holes are elongated and give me travel before clutch engages:

Adjustable one:

That should work provided the ball profile is close enough to the same

Or you can weld a washer on each side in the correct place for the pin and use a slightly longer pin.

Yeah I saw that solution and it is a good one. However I have no welding equipment (yet), a mate is gifting me his old MIG, so will happily have a play when I do.

Just as an update

I fitted an adjustable rod and all works perfectly.
