Thank you for your very kind words All -!!
Helping fellow car guys take their dream or turn it into reality , now that makes this fun.
The Actual technical problem; The wilwood slave cylinder threaded rod end that threads to the cylinder itself (the end with the Heim Joint ) decided to have the jam nut back off on the heim and drop its connection to the heim end from the cylinder shaft.
--We usually do not disassemble the heims as they come from willwood, we tighten the insert, set the jam nut and they are all/set good.
-- example I have exact the same setup on mine,-(Lily / 2734 ) which has almost 10,000 miles on it --no problem...so this is significant oddness.
So --hitting them with locktite blue is my next step, but this is a cylinder that is supposed to be serviceable, and I just dont believe you should not have to locktite a jam nut scenario -- I think I will obtain some stove nuts from mcmaster and go from there.
== it was a simple fix, - even though it has a jam nut, it looks like there is a potential for vibration braking that jam nut grip seal loose. -- I have to figure out a stove nut / safety wire deal for that setup.
The only other thing I can think of is that the Heim, might be under threaded /miscast but it felt OK. --
