Where can I find a Victor-tool for me? I have to pull, replace and
reinstall the engine and clutch on my 1600 as well. Sounds like it is
an easy job if you have a Victor. ;-)
Great info on the clutch tool as I have to buy one of those as well.
And good hint on the shift shifting.
Cheers,

Subject: Super Kudos to Victor
Victor Laury spent all day at my place in LA helping me (actually I
watched
him and stayed out of the way) put a new clutch on the engine and drop
the
beast back in. The effort he put in, and his knowledge about Roadsters,
are
both incredible. I can't say enough.
Learned a couple of things, don't suck on a brake line -- the fluid
tastes
terrible. And when sliding the early 1600 back in, there is a cross
brace in
the tranny tunnel that hangs up on the shifter base and doesn't allow
the
engine to slide back. Rather than get a bigger hammer, there is a pin
in the
shifter that slides out (don't lose the clevis) and allows the shifter
base
to tilt out of the way.
Also learned that the clutch alignment tool that Eastwood sells and
supposedly fits 95% of the cars made does not fit a roadster.
Anyway, I only have another two or three weeks left to go (see the next
post).
