I'm fed up with my hydraulic slave cylinder. I wish I stayed with the cable actuation, but I can't go back now.

I know I could drop a mint getting a custom job, but I was hoping someone had done some homework to figure out if one of the Howe cylinders (or competitors) will fit and function for the 901....

Kevin,
the CNC/Wilwood slave cyl has more than enough throw. If you're not getting enough travel it's because your' Master-cyl bore it too small. The papers that came with the slave cyl include a recommended MC bore size. Get rid of the bellcrank stuff and make a heat shield to keep the heat away. If mine can survive being shielded and just inches from my turbo I'm sure you can shield yours from the header. Hope that's helpful. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Another tip - since the slave is actually higher than the MC I put a 2psi check valve in the line at the MC end. Prevents soggy peddal when the car sits for a while. You can get the right valve from Wilwood (disk brake anti-drain-back valve).
