BACKDRAFT SLAVE/MASTER CYLINDER cont.. Still having issues

[madmaxx]

BDR's come turnkey minus. the clutch pedal, clutch master cylinder, brakcet and lines all come with the car. Proper sizing is done before it ever reaches this country.


I agree with Cashburn, give him or bill a call and they will get you on the right course. I imgaine your local mechanic does not see many cobras, where the dealers see 50 plus per year. I still feel the slave and bracket, push type are the way to go mainley because the only problem I ever had was alignment and once that was corrected all problems stopped.

With careful planing this can be avoided. If this becomes a problem, a dimensionally longer (same diameter) slave will
cure this once the correct sizing has been arrived at. This is a OEM 289 push type setup, with the clutch arm pivot on drivers side, it works flawlessly.
