I found this in a thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) :

...put a brace on the master cyl to keep the metal from bending when you really push on the pedal...

Does anybody has more details?
Links?
Picture or even parts?

Thank you!

Has anyone here built a brace for a 19mm M/C when using a 911 aluminum crossmember? That is something I've got on my list of things to do...

McMark posted some videos showing just how much flex is there. It looks like a worthy fix.

Hi Millerwelds,

Thanks from all the 914 owners who are running the stock master cylinder!
Your video was Great!

The amount of flex was MIND BLOWING! Not only should it make the brakes feel
"Funky", I would bet over time could lead to failure of the mount and the brake pedal going to the floor when it pushes master cylinder right through!

YIKES!!

Best,
Terry
