1932 RN Saloon 3 speed gearbox - standard. Question,
What is the distance between the floor boards and the clutch pedal - approximately ? I have run out of pedal movement, and can only disengage clutch by removing the carpets !! On stripping down, I can see wear on the clutch release collar caused by the clutch levers. I can sort that, perhaps even fit rollers as suggested by Tony ? (Sorry Tony, forgot your surname). But it would be nice to know where the pedal should be, and if it can be measured whilst the engine /gearbox are on the bench. Currently I have 0.09" between the rear engine mounting lug and the pedal itself.
Note, the 3 speed box clutch pedal is cottered to the clutch pedal shaft and its position can't be adjusted.
Also interesting to note that the clutch release collar has been built up in the past and also a mild steel "washer" placed on top of of that to provide the necessary pedal clearance, but after about 10,000 miles, the clutch levers have worn through the steel "washer".
