Well on sunday i continues with the painting, got that all finished and will let it cure for a bit. removed all the mask and did some clean up.

in between coats and flipping the cross shafts, i reinstalled the pedals, plate cover and mat. everything looks great and seems that i now have consistent clearance around the pedals !! so hopefully NO rubbing or interference. will find out when i start driving it and actually getting on the pedals.

clutch return spring and adjustment installed

angled view of pedal clearance

underside view of pedal clearance

mat going back in

on the cross shafts, i masked off the areas where the shafts will ride plus a little clearance for adjustments :) based this on how they were installed and where everything was when removed. still ahve a little touch up and clean up to do, and will take care of that in the next night or two.

question is, on the bushings/ shaft areas of contact should i use:
1-a few drops of general purpose oil
2-a thin coat of general bearing grease
3-other

ok so started to put the linkage assembly back in the car.  on the bench everything moves freely and easily by hand. little or no effort required to spin a shaft or slide a shaft or any component on it. bearing surfaces were greased with a syn grease.

mounting in the car with everything loose things move freely, but not a freely as they did on bench. if i tighten the drivers side at all the shafts are hard to turn at all by hand, if i only tighten the passenger side i can freely move either shaft. not sure what it could be ?? bracket or something out of whack ??
