Yes on the brazing.

Clark's has throw out bearing shafts for sale. Until recently they were 
made by CVCC member David Robertson when he worked for a machine shop in 
Richmond. See attached newsletter for the story on how they are made.

Input shafts are the ~2 feet long rod that fits into the clutch splines. 
They are many around in the garage somewhere. Everything is buried due 
to moving the last of my 35+ year parts collection from Richmond.

Buy a seal kit along with the throw out bearing shaft and we can change 
it out. Oh, buy an extra input shaft seal, as the new part uses two 
seals. Has anyone measured your input shaft to see if it is and early or 
late (slightly larger in diameter, especially the seal area, the seals 
are different). I guess I can unbury the hydraulic press to do it.
