2 hours job in 3 days. the wbx clutch

Ok, you would guess that changing a clutch cable is easy job, but this one was horrible.

as there are many wires, brackets, and stuff in that place where the wing-nut is located.

everything else went like a charm, but getting the wing nut back to the wire was pain in the butt.

had to make a special tool to be able to tighten the nut, but now there's the 2 cm play in the clutch pedal, and its working better than before, but a new problem came, as the exhaust took a hit from a door stopper, and baaam, the header is bent again. ill try to fix it tomorrow...

my special tool

pessureplate is pretty stout, but i got that working...

agent orange and the red rooster

both of these needs some action. the red one needs the front brake, assembled at the garage, and then back to the cottage. to put it in its place. i don't like the cold weather and working outside. but got to do that, then its done. and as i drive a audi quattro, i can even come back from the cottage, the down hill to the cottage is a bit icy and slippery. and good news with the orange bug, as the transmission is good and ready, so it might be best to get the bug from cottage to more suitable place to change the gearbox. more of that later. have to go to garage now. ciao!
