    I am in the midst of the frame off restore of my 73. I am replacing, or trying, all of the clutch linkage. Can someone post a photo of the frame and housing mounts? I do not beieve that anyone aftermartets the complete linkage kit for the 72-75 - meaning including bellcrank frame brackets, but correct me if I am wrong.

    thanks for the picture. what does the other end that you cannot see connect to? Did you fab it all yourself or use a kit for the mounting brackets? It looks good, thanks.

    You can see the transmission side. Here is the other side.

    I never figured out the return spring. Hense the Ace hardware spring Mickey Mouse. I have the real spring. Can anybody tell me how it hooks up?

    I wasnt talking about inside the cab, I was wondering about the north side of the first picture- - the innersupport bracket that connects to the bellcrank. Does it secure to the bellhousing or something else

    your mickey mouse spring, or rather the real one, connects from the upper part of the clutch pedal to the under part of the whole clutch assembly (what attaches to the body.) There is a hook to catch the spring.

    Here is the other side. The Bell Crank meets a ball knob thet mounts the the front side of the bell housing.

    I recently fabbed in a hydraulic clutch on my '75 so I have all the linkage and mounting brackets available. The rod that connects to the pedal has been extended to accommodate the body lift but can be cut back if necessary. Everything is in good condition.

    PM me if you're interested in these parts.
