Clutch push rod question ?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
There is one listed on e bay in 3 pieces!
Nurse Julie:
They are a 3 section rod on later ones or all one section as Ash has explained. They usually break in two parts as the chain hits it.
Yours is a common problem with the seal cutting in to the rod, which will cause the oil to weep past the seal. Have loads of rods that look the same as yours .

Is it brain fade or did someone (Graham maybe) get some made as specials?
Oddjob:
That's broken Ash, no metal part on one end and it should have metal parts on both ends. The end missing is the end which Ted has all the corrosion on.
There is a modern Honda which uses a push rod of the same diameter but it's slightly longer, I'm looking at using one of those when or should I say IF I can do an hydraulic clutch conversion, however it may be able to be adapted for use as a normal push rod. I'll take some measurements and see. It's also 3 parts, one long rod with 2 metal ends.
