Not when he's modifying it this way Simon because that part of the ECU no longer works! Common problem on the Vitesse it seems!

It is, yes. The car was owned by James (nitro something, can't fully recall his screen name just now) and the cooling fan wasn't working, causing HGF so he retro fitted a "tradional" thermoswitch in the radiator or a manual switch, not sure now as it's a while back.
I'd go for a phosphor bronze bush Adrian, soak it in oil overnight before fitting. Plain or flanged should do the job :
There is indeed Adrian - consider what you currently have.
Although the phosphor bronze will wear Adrian, it's going to take another 20 years or so and at least then, it's just a case of renewing the bush, not repairing the clutch pedal first.mercedade wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 8:23 amThanks Dave, appreciate your insight.
Interesting theory - I have to say, I'd rather there was a way of making the pin sacrificial, rather than a bush that involves removing a spring-loaded pedal with inaccessible mounting bolts. This is definitely a job I only want to do once.
