Reply to "Clutch Master Replacement"

If you have a stock master, you could take it out, disassemble and have the seals changed, if the bore looks good. I think other thread had POCA newsletter saying Pantera East and Roland Jäckel in Europe have stock masters available from the original mfg.
That is the way of least headache, if it's stock stuff you have there.

I'm in a middle of Master and slave changes, when my plastic(!!) Wilwood master installed by PO gave up the ghost, by wearing a groove to the bore. I had suitable size CNC stainless MC on shelf as leftover from other project, and went to install that.
I can tell you its easier to go stock route. Nothing major, but if the supplier has not thought about following things, you need to:

1. Typical aftermarket rod has SAE thread, when the stock system has metric. So either you figure out the whole rod setup (long enough) as SAE and find proper clevis, or you rig the old rod into the wilwood, which can be done, but in my old system required a spacer between master and firewall.
2. Bolt spacing is little different, so you need to round file the master holes.
3. You may need to figure out the plumbing connection to master (not sure how plug an play this is, as I haven't looked at stock system closely)
4. If your clutch was well adjusted and working with stock setup, I wouldn't begin changing things lightly. It's going to be fun enough without additional variables

Cheers,
