Hi:

Thanks for the note. I pretty well ruled out anything VW, and I did like Jeff's idea on the Wilwood. Pretty easy swap ,and Tilton has one as well.

I've been looking at alot of M/C on ebay and the closest I've seen are early '80's Mazda RX-7 and GLC units with 13/16" (20mm) piston diameter. In anyone has any other ideas/suggestions I'm open.

Not sure, but what I have installed in my car (whole clutch/brake pedal assy) looks to be non-CCX. Functional, but not the best ergonomics. Pedals seem real close to the floor for my size 91/2 feet. My first thoughts were to just get a copycat M/C which isn't leaking out through the shaft seal and go from there in relative safety, but what I'm really thinking of is a redo of everything as an integrated system. I want to take a good look at what I currently have (again, non-original CCX but good stuff) before chucking the lot. Something about not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

What I really liked was Jeff's installation of the floor mounted pedal assy. Well engineered/super fabrication, works good, looks good, and one heck of a lot better than what I currently have.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Kirk
