I recently purchased a 76 spider and am new to Alfas, but I have been playing with Porsches for awhile. I guess my question is with the clutch MC mounting design. I have replaced these in 944's a few times and thought that design was poor. But I think the Alfa gets the PITA award. Is there a trick to this I'm not aware of? First, I just don’t get why they didn't use welded studs on the bracket and two, why they used a 13mm ATF nut which allows no room for a socket and barely enough room for an open end to get in there. The allen head (bottom) is a freak show, but with swivels it can be reached.
I was thinking of welding M8 Tbolts to the bracket and use 12mm ATF nuts when I reinstall the MC so I can at least get a socket in there. I haven't made it to the slave yet, but from what I read that is not exactly a happy scenario either. If anyone can provide any tips on this job I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Rob
