    @alexPlatacis wonder your opinion, any shot of being able to replace worn bushings on clutch and brake without removing the pedal box?

    • @AlexPlatacis

      That is a great question...
      I totally understand. Aside from not removing the pedal box, you likely would want to avoid the need to disconnect both clutch, and break masters...

      I am going to give that a look later to see if it is possible

      @@AlexPlatacis Thanks, appreciate the response. I do think the pedals need to come out so disconnecting the masters is probably necessary, but would rather not have to remove the servo and everything attached to the pedal box or detatch the pedal box itself, I'm not retired so don't want to turn my pet peave of loose pedals into a major project when there is driving to do. Otherwise this will become something to do during off season. PS it's a 77 also.

      Did you see my fix on the stretched hole. Replacing the bushings won't remove the slack if you also have a stretched out hole like mine did

      @@AlexPlatacis Yes, I did. That was also suggested to me by a couple of guys from the MGB Exp forum. Your solution of welding a washer over the hole for that is clever vs trying to reshape the hole itself. The loose pedals are a side to side issue, so the hole becoming oblong may still also be there, but I don't think it's the cause of the issue I am having. But I could be wrong.

    I have a ‘79 MGB, would the install for this be pretty similar?

    Where did you get those clevis pins? I got the wrong size from moss. I had my daughter lay under dash with the pedals while I stuck clevis pins in. Lol.

      In this case the old pins were serviceable. I have replaced the pin in the clutch slave. In this video I showed how I made the replacement.... at apx 4:50 in
