I must need some more tools... nothing I've ever built looks anywhere near this good!

Oh wait... is there a "skills store" around here somewhere?

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate that.

I have a question for someone that might know. I have to redo the pedals because of moving the pivot point back. What is the rod travel on the clutch master? I believe the hrdroboost is 15/16" but don't know about the clutch.


I'm going to use another hiem on the brake and the pivot will be behind the arm so I want to get the ratio right.

No....hardly, just the one holding the column.

Jason Awesome work. I love the idea of moving the Hydraboost and clutch master back like that It will be a lot less cluttered in that area. This build is amazing.

that everyone tries to shoot for on the clutch is 6:1, which I think is the factory ratio. I personally have mine about 4.5:1 as I like a quick clutch. It is a little tough to get use to on the starts, but you can really bang the gears once you get rolling.

I noticed you are using the Mcleod master. If I am not mistaken it is a 1 inch bore instead of the Gm 7/8's bore. Make sure you speak with the clutch manufacturer about that. I had one of those and I could not use it with my Textralia clutch as the extra flow would invert pressure plate fingers. Obviously if you are going with Mcleod it will work fine. You probably knew this but a heads up just incase.

Really an outstanding car you have going. I would scuff it and shoot clear on it. I would had to cover all of that fantastic work!

Looking good.

1 Question did you make the steering wheel drop down bracket from a Garden shovel? Just curious....

Seriously looking forward to you moving to Bako....

Payton,

The GM is 3/4" bore Mcleod is 13/16" Tick performance sells an 4th gen F body upgrade with a tilton 7/8" bore. I fabricated a custom mount and used a tilton 7/8" master. I have only driven the car a few miles with the new setup, one thing I notice getting into reverse is much easier.



Jason,

I would not worry about ratio on the clutch, you have the opportunity to set it up to your liking. Personally I would ditch the Mcleod, I chased an intermittent problem with mine even after a rebuild, use a tilton, they are quality units.

DAMN...Your kinda good at this stuff..

[Teetoe_Jones]

Typically max travel on a plastic T56 master is 15/16". Any further it bottoms out and cracks and leaks. That looks like a McLeod master to me, so the travel should be the same if it is for a T56 application.
I like your use of recycled garden shed tools to make hot rod parts. Might be a market for stuff like that. Seems unfair you have such talent.

See what I did there?
