MG TD TF 1500 - Barrel Pin

Can anyone tell me if the Barrel Pin which locates in the clutch arm attached to the sump has a thread in it or does the threaded rod just slide through it, that is without actually screwing into the barrel pin.

Thanks

Regards

It just slides through with a shouldered nut doing the adjustment followed by a locknut. Originally BSF.

George, here's mine. As Ray said, it slides through the pin and a cupped spacer goes on next with two jamb nuts. PJ

Thanks Fella's my barrel pin had the remanent of a thread inside so when I made a new one I threaded it, will drill it out tomorrow.

George, if it were threaded in the pin, adjusting it would be quite a task. With it sliding through, adjustments are a breeze! Just keep spring tension on it. PJ

Thanks, I now suspect the thread I can see in the old Barrel pin is in fact just marks from the threaded rod flopping around and making thread like marks.

Have you looked at the "Cluck Linkage fix" on Bud's ttalk.info webpage? I suggest you make this small fix.

cheers
