No good about the ankle, hopefully it is all okay
Hopefully the mighty boy doesn't have to come to far apart to sort the issue
I guess a lot of these things get easier with each time they are worked on

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Zuffen,
I feel your pain from the ankle. It would be better to leave the moon boot on if you can drive with it but I understand that you might have to take it off.
That is a Mighty Big project you have taken on with the Mighty Boy!
Many Happies to your Mum for her 99th.

Quick update.
After faffing around trying to sort the clutch I'm biting the bullet and taking the engine out and splitting it from the transmission as clearly something has gone astray with it.
I can probably do it whilst sleeping, I've done it so many times.
Good thing is each time it comes out the install becomes better looking as little issues are sorted.
Lucky I'm a masochist.

4 hours work this morning had the engine out, split form the transmission and the clutch out. The clutch came out as a set of linings, 4 springs and a centre plate and two drive plates. All separate to one and other.
Absolute catastrophic failure. No idea why as it was being driven quite gingerly as it's only just on the road.
Had the flywheel machined today and a new clutch should arrive this week.
Hopefully by Sunday week it will be operative again.
