[QUOTE="XP900, post: 16559617, member: 199546"] Okay.. I think I got it. I will probably assemble the new 2014 MC with the aluminum but wait until I need to take that pedal out again and have this writeup and the parts I need ready in a baggie. I reused the old locking pin parts and was careful when I dismantled it. It's another PITA setup. When I separated my brake and clutch (bought the expensive over-priced Shelby kit) I read that the brake reservoir was held by a pushed in pin (like Chevys) and it had to be punched out. WRONG....by the time I looked at diagrams I realized it screws in and it was too late. I had to remove the MC to remove the botched up screw and install the new auto reservoir and then drill and rivet it on .... came out fine in the end but a lot of work. I also replaced the supply line hose for the slave clutch (with a new SS clutch line too) and I had to remove everything including the inside pedals to do all of this. Instead of two hours it was two days at least at night. I wanted my clutch system separate from the brake system to protect my braking system from contamination with old clutch fluid and particles. If the braking system fluid discolors early it's a good chance it's from the clutch system. I now just flush the slave clutch reservoir fluid often and it mixes with the old existing fluid quickly, unlike the braking system that really needs a complete flush every couple of years. Now my systems are nice and clear. [/QUOTE]
