    Can you post pictures of how you mounted the master cylinder to the stock pedal setup please? I searched but couldn't find any pics of this. Thank you!

    Most of us have switched to swinging pedals.

    Those pics helped. Thank you

    Just curious, it seems as though the master cylinder rod will be almost all the way out to attach to the pedal. Shouldn't it be fully decompressed?

    Depending on application and type you have bought a new rod may have to be built.........the rod should be long enough once attached to the pedal at Rest to get a full stroke of the master cylinder while also being stopped by a pedal bracket stop prior to it bottoming out in the cylinder.........The Master should be sized correctly to the slave cylinder for both pressure and stroke.

    Oh. Wait a minute then. When you said stock I thought Intermediate, not late model. I think I have some pics of mine. I swapped out to later pedals.

    Should the slave cylinder posh rod be at an angle like this? Might be hard to tell due to the lighting in the pic but it's not perfectly horizontal

    Should be in a straight line. Also needs an adjustment nut. Heat also kills it. If the exhaust is close to it. A heat shield is required.
