The more you look, the more you find...

Leaking Clutch Master Cylinder

Yes, that's right.  That is the clutch pedal fork, where it connects to the clutch master cylinder.  It is not suppose to be moist, which explains why there is no pressure to disengage the clutch.  Makes for an exciting starting experience, when it is not evident that the clutch is not in....  Luckily, the rebuild kit is not too expensive.  Should be here later this week.  The slave cylinder looks fairly newish, so that helped narrow down the issue.

3rd Brake Light

In '73, no one had thought about a 3rd brake light.  Well for the smallest car on the road, it's probably a good idea to be as visible as possible.

Emergency Brake

This is the new gaiter (rubber seal where the brake lever goes through the brake plate) on the rear brakes.  Took a while to figure out the hand-brake cable had stretched more over 40 years than the adjusters could take-up.  A new clevis pin hole on the connector and the hand-brake now works, even on the steep hills of our neighborhood.   Parking with confidence is something most people take for granted.  New shoes didn't hurt either.

Starter

The starter was having problems catching every time.  Turns out, this unit was a special high-torque model from Jet Motors (www.jetmotorsmini.com) that needed to have 3mm taken off the front face.  Jeremy was very helpful and swapped out the old one.  Luckily, he is located 15 minutes from the Portland Airport, which I frequent, so it was quite painless to stop by and see his shop.  The modified starter, hasn't missed a beat.

Windows Seal

A new exterior window seal for the passenger side should keep the rain out of the door. Rubber doesn't last forever.

Still on the list:

Small fuel leak - Can smell the fumes, but can't find the source.   Waiting on a UV flashlight to help spot the UV dye that has been added to the tank.

Heater Diverter - The heater works great, too great.  Even when off, the damper doesn't close tight enough to hold back the heat.  The foam has disintegrated and needs replacing.  Winter is coming.
