Clutch Master Cylinder Mounting

68 A said
I did not. Look at post # 28 & 29, you can see where I drilled the hole in relation to the spring tab that was cut off. Then following pictures of the linkage and clearance I had with the pedal depressed. I was getting the full stroke of the master cylinder without any interference. My car is not running, so as far as how the clutch releases, I do not know yet.

Hey 68A, hows it going? How is your project coming along, is the car running yet? :)

Right if you don't change it the pedal stroke is reduced, making the pedal either never go as far down as it should, or it will sit much lower to the floor at rest. You will still fully travel the master cylinder. My main point is it's not anything like the OE pedal stroke and I don't think you'll like it. With the modification, its very hard to tell mine from a mechanical clutch linkage other than its a little lighter and smoother.

I think I'm also finally understanding what goldduster is trying to say. LOL So, yesterday I was working on my setup, and I modified the pivot point on the pedal like goldduster did. I also came up with 1.9" radially from the pivot point is right on that bend. So I did exactly what he did, welded a piece of flat bar stock and drilled the hole. All I can do at this point is now wait, I cant test it, the car is at the body shop so I cant install the engine & trans and try to bleed the system.

I ended up just using the American Powertrain bracket as you can see, I'll finish welding that backing plate on the inside next week, just did some tacks to make sure it was in the right position.
