Tony C Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Just removed the cable from the clutch pedal and noticed mild wasting of the clevis pin. Not in any danger of snapping, but surprising wear after only 42,000 miles in nearly four years. Might be worth an inspection  BRG Brooklands SV 😬 It seems that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.

TonyR Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I believe Caterham now fit split pins following a number of failures of the clevis pins clips on the brake pedal pin. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Just to make sure:- The clevis pin is the pin that attaches the cable to the top of the pedal. The split pin stops the clevis pin from falling out  Section 9, Page 5, Fig 4 in my Assembly Guide. BRG Brooklands SV 😬 It seems that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.

TonyR Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I think the original retainer of the clevis pin was a type of R shaped spring clip.  Losing the clutch pin would not be too bad, but I wouldn't fancy the brake one failing  Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 You're correct Tony. I was afraid you had your Clevis mixed-up with your split. I seem to remember that in the US they call what we know as a split pin a clevis pin. I guess the clutch clevis pin gets more wear than the brake one. Although it's non critical, compared to the brake, it could be a tad embarrassing if it broke  Just something else to include during regular maintenance  BRG Brooklands SV 😬 It seems that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.
