AFAIK,nobody in the UK sells them.Best bet is to buy a s/h lever and be careful removing the pin assembly.

Forgot to say,iirc,the pin has loctite on the threads.Once the grub screw has been loosened,the pin should come out by carefully turning it out of the front of the lever.(In other words,screw it in,....if that makes sense!)

Thanks indeed for your help Keefy, good to hear from you.

I'll have another go, as I've backed off the grub screw already.

I'm still having no joy.

I've tried screwing the plunger pin out via the slotted head after backing off the grub screw but to no avail. The slotted head has already seen some attention and is almost rounded off. At the moment the plunger pin is soaking in a bath of WD-40!

Does anyone have a decent spare OE clutch lever for sale please? Hopefully I'll be able to use the plunger pin assembly from the donor lever.

Thanks for your help.

Hi James,

Just thinking out load here, when you say you 'backed off the grub screw' - you have unscrewed it enough I trust!

I had to drill mine out last year :-0

Good luck with it,

Lee

Yes thanks Col, I had to order a new plunger kit from AF1 racing - $57.00 delivered! Shame I did not see Keefy's post until after I parted with my hard earned cash.

I fitted the clutch lever today, very pleased.

Are you going to the DSC trackday?

Best regards,

James
