Oh well, that's the end of that.
Got rid of the assister spring.
Measured the large amount, 24mm ish, of free cable at the other end with pedal fully released.
Made a spacer out of a bit of solid nylon round bar. = drill center and hacksaw slot in one side.
Tried it.
Made the slot in the side of it a couple of mm wider.
That fitted!
Started the engine.
Dodgy sort of buzz from "down there".
Engine off.
Checked cable and spacer.
Pushed against the clutch lever with the spacer/cable end.
I could feel it resisting, so assumed that was the clutch "fingers".
Thought I might make the spacer 2mm shorter, but ...
Started 'er up again.
Pushed on the lever again with engine running, to see if the noise got worse.
Mini explosion/rattly sound from inside the transfer casing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely worse.
Fek.
Bus to work on Monday.
Gotta walk to the shop for some bread, and consolation cakes now!
