Clutch Master Cylinder Bracing?

[etbenno]

Hey guys

dunno if its just the ceffys ive had or me but the firewall seems to be weaker where the clutch master bolts upto when ya do a five speed conversion from the auto this time around im running a OS twin plate and the firewall flexes like an inch, inch and a half i'm thinkin that if left itd probably crack and make me cry plus it feels like the clutch isnt engaging all the way sssoooooo I was just wondering if there was such a thing as a brace for the clutch master to stop flex or anyones ideas on how to resolve this problem cheers for any help

To be safe - Get the firewall welded up but will be a few hundred $$$$

As for braces...NFI havent heard of anything.

A mate just put his foot thru the firewall becuase of this exact reason...literally installed the heavier clutch, drove around for 10 mins then BANG....

i have one in my cef benno... unsure if its s13/r32 as im 99% sure cusco never sold for a31 (its genuine cusco)

not willing to sell but though id let you know they are out there

hmm i think i need one of these bracing devices also. Mines only a 5 puck brassy and can feel it slightly flexing already - also was a auto to manual converted cef. anyway got a link to where ya can get them?

EDIT: Paid closer attention to it today after this thread. I actually think its just my clutch pedal box thingo twisting slightly with a bit of creaking so prob not firewall afterall. Probally just have to grease it up a bit and have a closer look one day. Meh no biggie. I'm not really fussed.

Could it be the auto > manual converted ones ?

I havn't noticed any flex in mine (factory manual) and I have Extreme HD clutch.

yer same here konect unless i'm simply oblivious to the fact it may be flexing... OR i dont drive it enough

[dangerous_daveo]

Mines factor manual too. 3500lb clutch, not a worry...

Nah I gave my a real test last night with clutch kicks and pushing as hard as I could on it and there was no way it was flexing

[etbenno]

Yeah its the converted ones that do it i had one factory manual and it never flexed at all hmmmm i guess now the mission is to find one of these braces and get the firewall welded just to be safe thanks guys
