I just went through this in January, pivot bent over. I wish i had seen post #2 about reinforcing it sooner but its all back together now. I went back with the same pivot from Quick Time and put a new arm and bearing in it. I have a Pond block so the ERA supplied slave cylinder mount was always off and used this time to re-design one. I also removed the 7/8 master and went back to the 3/4 since i gained more travel, cut the peddle effort by more than 1/2.
