BACKDRAFT SLAVE/MASTER CYLINDER cont.. Still having issues

[Cobra 29]

This bracket and slave cylinder orientation assumes that the long clutch arm is fitted. Meaning that it pivots on the passanger side of the transmission so the clutch arm must be moved toward the front of the car to disengage the clutch. The point is that this longer clutch arm requires more travel at the clutch arm tip to disengage the typical clutch. This arm was intended for a cable actuation. The clutch arm that pivots on the driver side requires less clutch arm travel and the push direction is toward the rear of the car.

I now understand the above because I have fitted larger clutch master cylinders to gain more travel from my slave cylinder that pushes toward the front of the car. I started with a 7/8 master but the slave travel was not great enough. Then to a 15/16 still not enough slave cylinder travel. And finally a 1" master that seems to be enough. One possible solution is to increase the diameter of your master cylinder IF your slave cylinder can physically support more travel.

Bill Littleton, I like your bracket and slave cylinder set-up. Will your bracket fit a Lakewood / TKO600 bolt pattern? What is the diameter of your slave cylinder? What is its travel length? Is the slave cylinder for a particular mass production car? Sorry, for the questions but you really need to know the diameter relationship between the master and slave cylinders to estimate the travel available at the slave / clutch tip arm.
