Series 2 Bent clutch thread adjuster, or what ..

[Rafe Dent]

Trying to put together my purchase list for basic restoration of my Series 2A 1962, and I came across this bent threaded adjuster, downstream of the clutch slave cylinder clutch mechanism.
Anyone seen that before ? Any tips on what to expect/ plan for ?
Not having started it yet - in middle of changing the starter - what do you think I need in the way of clutch bits and pieces? (It stood for a year or so outside).
Thanks

complete bodge it should look like this

What are the forces like ? If I dismantle that link from underneath, and get some sort of lever on the arm, should I be able to operate the downstream clutch mechanism manually ? Just trying to work out why it's bent and what I'm looking at in terms of total work to get the Landie moving.

It wont work like that.Would take a lot of force to bend the rod like that.Remove the slave and disconnect rod from clutch arm. It should be possible to move the clutch operating arm some with a leaver if it is free.
