Anyone have any part numbers for a clutch master kit that is used on the DSE firewall plate ? I understand they use stock 98-2002 camaro but i was hoping someone might sell it as a kit with a remote reservoir .
While I am asking anyone have any feedback on the Tick performance adjustable?

We tried to use the tick adj master w/ Speedtech firewall plate and we were not able to line the bolts up straight to the mounting block. He had the bracket boxed in to close it out, and there was not enough clearance for the length of the bolt. The tick attaches with bolts from inside the car, the GM with a U-bolt inserted from engine compartment with nets on the inside. Had the closeout been a little bigger it would have worked. Just something to keep in mind. I used the stock Fbody clutch master with a DSE plate and it worked nicely. The rod end on the Fbody master needs to be removed & replaced with shorter one. I used the speedtech clutch master rod end to get the right length for the stock 1st gen pedals. I also added a stop for the clutch pedal, as the stroke will be shorter and the pedal will not go all the way to the floor when fully depressed.

I used the McLeod clutch master for 98-02 F Body with the DSE mounting plate. It works great. I also did have to shorten the rod. I simply ran a die down the rod to cut some new threads, then cut the rod to length and threaded the rod end back on.

Stock F body is remote resevoir. 98-02 It ships complete with the resevoir, and braided line that goes to the TOB all bled and ready to rock.
I would like feedback on the Tick master as well. with a 7/8 bore vs the stock 3/4 I expect an increase in effort but I can't imagine the throw being shorter than it is with the stock MC.

The McLeod is a 13/16" bore. I cannot offer any comparison as I have never driven a 98-02 F-Body. The McLeod also ships with the braided line with fitting. You will have to source your own resevoir. I used the stock resevoir from the Camaro I pulled my trans from.
