Bob,

Great idea.  Everybody knows that the clutch push rod is the weak link in the
Tiger mechanical chain.  Since Rootes made their own clutch push rods,
instead of using Ford parts, they are bound to need improvement. Your
imaginative concept of using 16 of them, instead of the original single
clutch push rod, is a stroke of pure genius.  This will reduce the clutch
effort by 16 squared.  Why, you just might have to put your foot under the
clutch pedal to stop it from sinking to the floor under it's own weight.

Have you thought about applying your unique insight into the engine valve
train push rods?  Maybe we could get by with only 1.
