Anything would be a help, especially of the slave cylinder mount.

Thanks.

I built this slave mount out of a piece of scrap angle iron. It's used for a Wilwood pull type slave, and bolts to a Energy Suspension motor mount. I used a 1" master but a 7/8" will probably work with it. If you have the room around your header, etc, it would be a much cheaper alternative than the CNC slave and aftermarket mount.

I'm curious on how the 1" master pushes the 7/8" slave?
I had to put in a 3/4" master to pull my 7/8" slave. I tried the 1" master but couldn't couldn't get the 7/8" slave to move much. The 3/4" still takes a little force to move the slave.

maybe you are not purging it correctly?

I just need to move only 1 inch of pedal to shift on my setup

sorry I haven't upload more pics Ill try to do a video

The bigger the master cylinder is in relation to the slave cylinder, the longer stroke the slave will have as well as requiring more foot pressure to push in the clutch. In my case, I originally used a 7/8" master and with the Centerforce pressure plate, and the pedal force was way too light. The 1" master made it feel almost like a stock system only much smoother.

I bended the yellow stud a lil to make a soft swing

If you can see I also hooked to the wheel firewall screw

with this the clutch wont move the firewall

Juit, After looking at your video, it appears that you have the bleed fitting on the bottom of the slave and the supply line on the top. It will be just about impossible to completely bleed the system as pictured. The bleed fitting needs to be on the top of the slave cylinder.

[juit]

its still doable if you bleed it from the master cylinder

I have access to a brake purge pump also

Maybe Ill move it if I need to move anything but it has been working great since 07-22-2012

thanks for the heads up

[MustangChuck]

Many thanks for the additional pictures and the video! It looks like you disassembled things just to take the pictures. I REALLY appreciate that, especially since I know how difficult it is to reach under the dash.
