Only made out of steel though, no fancy stainless or 4140 high tensile stuff.It's funny that you say about $350ish for the M/cyl as I was quoted by Cumberland Ford $550 with a trade order. Quite fun putting the bugger in though, especially in pitch black without a torch and without the right tools but got there in the end. Also surprising is the clutch feels lighter now, go figure that one out.

AceWord5940 New Member 1 Member For: 7y 6m 17d Posted 12/12/17 06:12 PM Share Posted 12/12/17 06:12 PM Yes. Happens to me replaced master cylinder. Lasted 18 month before next one broke. Replacing again but keeping old one and modifying to a metal one. I'm sure I can find someone here to make me one for less then $20 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44730-clutch-master-cylinder-plastic-clip-broke/#findComment-1648633 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found some washers the appropriate size for the OD of the pin on the pedal arm. Striped the master cylinder and tig' the washers on the end of the shaft and it was good as gold. Just need to manage the amount of heat put into the shaft. (nobody like it when your shaft gets to hot and melt the rubber.....seal) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44730-clutch-master-cylinder-plastic-clip-broke/#findComment-1648644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
