Got asked by a Xweb member to fix a S2 clutch pedal push rod. Never seen one of these before, out of curiosity and want to know, took this on.
The clutch master cylinder push rod is longer than what is used on the S1, this one is really wore-out.
Set up the pedal assembly in the BP, cut off the riveted end of the push rod pivot with a roughing end mill.
Done, then press out the old wore out pivot.
Pivot off.
Make a sleeve to convert the 10mm_ish hole to fit a 5/16/M8 dia NAS bolt. The IKO, M8 rod end
thickness is 12mm, OEM push rod is 8mm thick. The bushing is 2mm thinner to compensate for this difference.
Sleeve has a very slight press fit and held in with RC609 Loctite. Easily removable if needed.
Made the replacement push rod in the same way as previously posted, except the push rod is longer on the S2 pedal assembly.
End view.
