It’ll get a new bush. Any likely long term issues?

Oh yeh, I’d forgotten about that. Have you done anything with it?

no it will be fine ,they all tend to be like that
I've removed the bellhousing as that has to go off to be 3D scanned as part of another project, I got as far as getting strapped onto a pallet and moved to my lock and store room ready for the day I send it away for a rebuild, but for now it's keeping my rear seats for the Discovery company along with a load of other stuff LOL
Hope you've not forgotten my open invitation North of the border lol

Ah yes the constant accumulation of landy stuff. I know that feeling well.
Not at all! Kettles always on!
The rod is held on with a little clip.
An HD fork has an extra piece of metal welded across the back of the pivot point.

Ok cool. How does the clip connect. Tried to feel round the back to hard to figure it out. Tempted to take it all off and change it all
Best explained with the aid of a picture, so click on this LINKY
Roll your mouse over the image. The black plastic thing, with the hole in the middle, at the bottom of the picture, is the push rod clip. Look carefully and you can see two little plastic pegs sticking out of it. Now look at the narrow end of the clutch fork. You can see the hollow that the ball of the push rod sits in and to the right of that you might just be able to make out a dark, narrow slot. The two plastic pegs of the push rod clip slot in to there and this enables the clip to hold the push rod in to that hollow.

That makes sense. Thanks. Is the bit of metal you mentioned on HD fork bit you can see in that photo?
Yes, the rectangular bit across the middle, welded along the ends.

Go the whole hog and get it ceramic coated
Is that what you’ve done? How does one get something ceramic coated?
No, I didn't. Sorry, I thought you'd realise that and so I was trying to be funny. Failed
High performance manifolds can be ceramic coated I think. This creates a faster, more efficient, flow of exhaust gases. Not needed for Trattors. Not sure how many paints are available that withstand the temperatures, heating/cooling etc

Oh haha, shows how much I know! Fair point, thought maybe wrapping it in turbo/exhaust wrap. Just something to stop it rusting. Although maybe thats not sensible, overheat the manifold?
