Hi all,
Making (slow) progress… but I’m in no rush.
Not sure what these three sticky outty bits are (can’t see then in parts list book).
Can i leave them in place during degreasing/vapour blasting, or that’s a terrible idea due to moisture/muck ingressing and being trapped?
Thank you!
Mike

Far right in photo is the pivot pin for the shift arm, left of that it is a cam screw to adjust the shift arm.
I think far left is pivot pin for the plastic tachometer drive.
In my opinion, given vapour blasting isn’t to harsh a process and so long as you aren’t focusing the vapour blast on them I would mask them with insulation tape.
You’ll have to thoroughly clean everything anyway prior to assembly.
As I said, just my opinion.
Good luck, Pete

Two are pressed-in shafts that you'd cause damage trying to remove.

The third is the eccentric bolt for the shift linkage adjustment.... you "can" remove it but then you'll definitely have to fiddle with getting the adjustment correct on reassembly.

If those parts will be damaged by whatever "cleaning method" you have in mind, I'd strongly suggest finding another method.

Are you planning on vapour blasting the inside. Never heard of that being done or maybe i'm behind the 8 ball.

Was going to degrease the whole case.
TBH, wasn’t the sure whether it is normal to mask off the inside before vapor blasting.
But the comments have helped me decide - will mask off the inside and think all will be well.
Thanks very much!
Mike

If you're degreasing i've never masked anything. Nothing to damage, it'll be good. [in my opinion].
I guess ya talking liquid degreaser that is--is there any other way.

Agree… was going to mask off after degrease and before the vapor blasting.
