Clutch Bracket Failure

 

On two VX's we have had failure of the bracket at the clutch end of the cable

 

 

The bracket is a C shape, held onto the clutch actuator arm by a rivet. In my case one side of the arm has broken

Front view - looks OK, but feel behind and you can feel the rough edge where it has broken

 

Back view

 

 

Side view clearly shows the break

 

If this had carried on then the remaining connection would have work hardened from the repeated pulling on of the clutch and eventually snapped off as it did on the other VX800
