"...EDIT to ask if anyone knows what the attachment is on the clutch pedal?
Marvin..."

It is a "pedal-stop" so you don't pull the release brg. "over-center"....limits the travel of the clutch arm... Exclamation

Drove mine to work and it overheated!

Cleaned up, rebuilt, and repainted an old '59 steering box. Now it is ready to fill up with oil once the gasket sealer sets up. Then I can pop in the oil fill plug, the adjustor screw and nut, giver her a quick adjustment, and then she will be good to go Wink

Took er to the woods and beat the snot out of her! It lived and made it home. Best thing Germany ever did, with the exception of the Porshe of course.

Thanks guys! Hey, if your going to spend time making things nice on the inside, you may as well make them nice on the outside too Wink

I Just picked up a pair of 14 Gauge, 1.125in ID, steel machine bushings to experiment with and see if they will work out for the "washer trick." I will post up what I find out.
