RUNNING ADJUSTMENTS
CLUTCH
A Borg & Beck single dry plate clutch is fitted and as it is correctly set before leaving the
works it will be some considerable time before it requires re-adjustment.
Adjustment
Indication that adjustment is required is given when :
1. The free pedal movement is reduced to about ¼ " (6 mm.)
or
2.
The free pedal movement increases until the clutch will not be fully released
when the pedal is fully depressed.
It is then necessary to adjust the clearance until there is backlash or free movement
of about ½ " (13 mm.) measured at the pedal pad. This will provide the

" (1.5
mm.) clearance required at the toggle ring.
