Happy Christmas everyone.

On page 47 of the Donor Disassembly portion of the manual is the instruction for adding a hole to the pedal arm to raise the master cylinder push rod clevis and clevis pin (when installing in the 818).

This is not mentioned in the Assembly section, but when installing the push rod it seemed wrong, so I went back and checked!

I missed that instruction previously....and the punishment is...remove clutch & brake master cylinders...steering column...and pedal box...to drill the hole...then reassemble.

If it was mentioned in any of the build threads, I missed it there too.



Hope this note helps someone else to avoid this irritating double work. I'm going to cut back on my speed reading!

You can drill it with the units in place. I missed it too and drilled in place.

Thanks, I haven't looked at it that closely yet, so I'm glad to know that,
and will get after it without all the punishment!

Cheers
