Kris,

I certainly did not mean that toward the Shelby parts.

Bud,

I sure do like the feel of the hydraulic t/o clutch. I have not been happy with the clutch fork ones, (again, I have not tried the Shelby set up yet, but I do look forward to trying it some day.)

We have not used a pedal stop, althought it is quite simple to do. We usually just put an aluminum tube over the master cylinder push rod and cut to the appropriate length. We haven't used one because we use a 0.700 master cylinder and it doesn't have too much volume. I have seen some 0.750 and some 0.875 master cylinders and I wonder how they push in the clutch. We even once put in a 0.625 and I couldn't believe how nice the clutch felt. Of course, the clutch was noticeable closer to the floor, but I really didn't mind too much.

David
