Cheap Clutch Stop!!!

[asubimmer]

I was at Lowes the other day and saw something that would work for a clutch stop. I bought a 3/8-16 x 2-1/2 Elevator Bolt. It was only $1.75!!! I had to grind it a little shorter but it fits great. also the rubber on the stock stop fits the new metal one.

Old news....Many have made them.

why would you put an SAE threaded bolt in your car?

i built my own clutch stop at lowes using a metric bolt, big washer, 2 nuts, and a rubber chair leg cap. couple bucks and works great

I agree. Use the right size bolt.

i would but they didn't have a metric elevator bolt. the standard one fits fine.

I made one with a lowes bolt~ it was 1.5 inches long but it had the clutch stop jusssttt before it cought and it was a strange feeling to drive

so I took it out and dont use a clutch stop now

it was only 25 cents though, so I dont feel like I wasted much

that's why you're supposed to ADJUST it. thread it in pretty far, then start the car and adjust it back out until the clutch engages/disengages fully. now lock down the jam nuts and finish off your beer

it was screwed in all the way, so a 1 inch bolt would have given me a extra half inch of travel below where the clutch disenguages~ I might go spend another 25 cents and see if I like that any better.

[asubimmer]

just grind the other one down. mine started as a 2.5" bolt

[Q5Quint]

this might be off topic... but do you go to asu

bc i do

[asubimmer]

yeah i do^^

revival! So what is the correct size metric hardware?

[asubimmer]

i don't know the metric size but i bought a 3/8" one since i could not find any elevator bolts that were metric

[kowalski]

why dont you just but a metric bolt, who cares if its an elevator bolt?

[CarsSuck]

what are the proper metric sizes?
