Z tube A1 or A2

Unread post by russnj » June 2nd, 2009, 11:12 pm

Hi All

I am wondering if I have the correct Z tube or not, is this one correct for an A1 or A2?
Thank in advance! Russ

The only difference that I know about is the bushings are different. Does it work?

Ok, I thought from the picture in the manual the position of the arms on the tube where at different angles.
No, I have no clutch yet, I am going to try to readjust it some more tonight, there is about 2-3 inches of free play in the clutch pedal.

Looking at the figure above and the pics you posted I would say you have an A2 Z tube.

why would these parts be different? is there a difference in the tranny between the early 151s and the A2s?
