Yes, you're right nobber! It's the centre pivot that pushes through not the end that the push rod pushes on!

Was really thinking that myself, how would I get to it from slave hole. Still gonna have a look though.
I was thinking the same - certainly not with any accuracy - though I am blonde*, so
.....@border - if you CBA, then I'd split the engine / trans and replace with a HD fork - and grease the pivot well in the process - OMO.
* - was might be more accurate - there's a bit of grey now
Dont pull that rod out, if you do , you need a length of pipe just shorter than the rod, slide it down over the rod and it will hold the clip in place as you fix it back onto the fork. Its a fiddly **** of a thing to do!
When I do clutches I cable tie that clip to the fork!

It’s still worth greasing the pushrod end. Still a moving/wearing part after all.
Also worth greasing the slide where the bearing runs, which the input shaft runs through.

Many moons ago whilst changing the clutch I found that a washer had been welded over the rod onto the fork arm so have subsequently done the same so it’s always where it should be .( obviously the rod was free to move)

That's what I did. The clip was very loose.

Phoned my mate who put it in and he did grease everything up, so The Fu!!!ng Dam thing can stay the way it is, will take a chance, but Thanks Everyone for help and advice, I now know exactly what to do next time.
Gonna try and get the rest of the engine all connected up, pipes, wiring ect so I can get wings and bonnet on.

I know you say it was forgotten but I would be trying to paint what I could of the bulkhead whilst the wings are not fitted.
Seems a shame to have gone to the effort of a rebuild and have it looking shabby under the bonnet (in the nicest possible way )

I know Mate, Not sure what The final Colour will be yet but suppose I could tidy it up with something, Maybe just nice shiny black or something.I know you say it was forgotten but I would be trying to paint what I could of the bulkhead whilst the wings are not fitted.
