Don't want to get into a flame war but, WTF are you on about??? Maybe you should think more about what you're typing......
Were you on the pi$$ when you wrote this rant?
If I decide to buy another clutch pedal, or heaven forbid go to a cable system, then good luck to me. There's me thinking about it and finding a solution I'm happy with. I actually remember that in the good ol' days as you put them, most people went to Repco or the manufacturers and replaced broken bits & pieces because replacement parts were readily available. I also remember some people 'upgraded' to parts they thought were better. It was a huge market - Yella Terra for example. I think I'll continue fixing my cars the way I have done for over 30yrs, even if that means changing or replacing old fatigued parts as a better solution. I find the increased reliability and better driving experience reassuring. The cars get driven pretty hard so I need this assurance. Each to their own I always say.
Oh well, thanks for the demeaning advice 'DAD', but I'll continue driving my little Toranas, if it's all the same to you.
PS: If you read a few posts above your little piece of wisdom, you would have noted that the pedal had in fact been welded.
chuck
son
or for all i know grandson
first time in all my time on this forum that anyone has really had a go at me so personally
you have my respect
chuck i apologise for any possible disrespect that you believe i inferred on you
i admit i could have worded my post better
BUT
i am correct in stating that we live in a world of replacement part not repair or engineer the problem to a solution
what makes you think that a second hand or n.o.s pedal would be any better than what you had
maybe you have a really big left foot
i don,t know
all i was stating is people these days don,t know how to overcome problems when they are confronted with them
you may just be the exception
many apologies to you sir
not son or grandson
p.s cable clutch as in a9x torana not that great either
they break!
many apologies if i have offended you in any way
was not my intention
cheers
