Jdog,
let me know when you get everything working. I would love to take a drive up there and see it. I hear Kmarccoco lives by you. Maybe we can all get together and go for a drive.

Not yet
She is still up on jack stands, we can't get the clutch master cylinder working. Getting a new master cylinder may turn out to be a little more difficult than I thought. Seems Shelby has only one source, and they are "back ordered"! 
jdog
P.S. Having patience is something I'm getting quite a lesson in!
Anybody have a spare clutch master cylinder?

Jerome,
When you get it on the road and out of the shop, reply here. Maybe we can get a group of us NORCAL folks to meet and Tom at a local place for a quick ice cream after work one day or something. This has even become a big deal for the rest of us to see you get your car now.
Also, there seems to be a whole new batch of NORCAL folks too who've never met yet. Let us know.

So get one from another source...I think my Kirkham uses a 0.7 inch Tilton. It would Kill me to have to wait for a part like that....but then you've developed quite a pain tolerance by now .
Seriously, if it isn't a sin, I bet you could source one with the same bolt pattern and displacement rather quickly.
Just a thought.

Tilton or Wilwood should have what you need.

Jdog,
I have a Girling 313310 7/8" (casting info), box says Meritor PJH104. Let me know if you need it, I would just want it replaced with the same thing.

Jdog,
Did you check the clutch line for blockage? Are you getting fluid throughout the system?

We are looking!
Thanks, I will be checking with each of those sources tomorrow.
Allan, if we can't find one I might have to take you up on your offer. Your to kind! I would replace it ASAP. I will be in the South Bay area(Hayward), next monday & tuesday, maybe I could pick it up then? But, hopefully we can find one tomorrow.
You bet Duane, and I'll buy!
Yeah, this has turned into something of a Crusade!
Thanks guys, this is what I love about this place.
jdog
P.S. I can only speculate that I'm paying off some serious Karma debt!

Morgan,
I'm pretty sure Tom said that he had checked the lines, but I'll ask him tomorrow anyway!
How's your car running? That new engine should be well broken in by now.

Shelby!
Shelby Inc., came thru with a new master cylinder!
It's installed and working fine.
Thank you Shelby!
Tom wants some shakedown time, to make adjustments and do some fine tuning.
Should be Monday or Tuesday.

Tomorrow
[ANNIE]
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!
jdog

All systems GO!
Well we seem to have everything operating. The car is now drivable. I looks like all of the 'bugs' have been conquered! 
It is now in the shake-down faze. A day or two to really re-check everything and adjust & tune. If all goes well, I'll pick her up on Thursday or Friday! 
jdog
P.S. Tom will shoot some video of when "I" start her up for the first time!

Jdog,
I wish you all the best with your car. I have been following your thread here and on the Shelby Owners forum. My alloy CSX did not take as long as your car and I really felt for you and the other owners of the HST cars in terms of all that you went through.
