I'm sure it's in a thread here somewhere, but what trans are you running? I've been toying with the idea of an eventual 5/6 speed swap down the road, but I put enough money into a custom driveshaft and whatnot to convince myself to dump the 4 speed just yet. My clutch linkage is all screwy, was when I bought the car.

Cool, what brand was that bearing or was it something you modified yourself? I was thinking it wouldn't be all that hard to make some sort of mounting pad that could attach to the bearing retainer. We've got a machine shop at work I can borrow on the weekend and I'm pretty good buddies with one of the guys out there.
can you please post all the details of the setup? what slave cylinder are you using? what is your pedal ratio? i have the american powertrain kit that i have to figure out how to set up one day...lol
I'll try--It's a wilwood master package deal,A tilton throw out bearing and yes that's a machined alum. front bearing retainer that was done to bring the throw out bearing within the stroke for adjustment,The hardest part that I went thru"MULTIPLE TIMES" was the pedal to master connection,BOY did I scratch my head on that one!!!!!! It took me 6 different trials and errors to get that right,PITA it was,But what finally worked for me was a heim joint because as you push on the pedal you have to account for the arc of the throw, I simply took the push rod nipple out of the pedal assembly and drilled the hole bigger for a 9/16 grade 8 bolt and then made a new push rod for the master and threaded the heim joint on the end of the push rod and then the heim joint goes onto the bolt with a nut on the other side--I can try and get a pic and put it on here--Hope some of this helps
