Ok Larry , two roll pins :-) I’ve no idea about how much force there is. I suppose could measure clutch pedal force and distance travelled, then determine lever arm on the clutch lever, then, then… Or work back from clutch pressure data.. > On May 24, 2021, at 7:03 PM, Larry Alofs <lalofs@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Lots of shear stress on that roll pin.

But it has given me a few hours of thought about how I would go about making a sub. I’d do away with the splines in the arm as I can’t make them… I’d do some other way. >> > >> > Oh btw, the clutch cross shaft is a nice 19.99 mm diameter where the arm goes on. It’s a nice close fit to the arm ( haven’t measured arm bore yet.
