Hey guys...we all have something in common. I also had problems in the beginning with the McLeod setup with a Centerforce clutch. It blew seals, leaked at the banjo fittings and was about ready to put a C6 in it (not really). I also ran a large master cyl. If you remember some of the things we all probably heard, a large bore does not provide for more pressure, just volume. I went to a 5/8" master cyl, changed the banjo fittings to A/N 90' fittings and followed the measurement setup to the letter, and guess what.....it has worked great ever since. Smaller dia master cyl means more pressure, which means less effort. My master cyls mount under the floor, but behind the pedals so I used aluminum shifter rod available at any place that sells stuff for stock cars and threaded it to match the rod out of the master and heim on the pedal end which allows me to adjust how far it moves the piston in the master. Bottom line is...A.no more leaks..B. A five year old with a sore leg can depress the pedal, and C. no pedal stop.

Life is good.

John
