View Full Version : Chevy pattern clutch master bracket


Vince@Meanstreets
11-11-2013, 01:41 AM
I had this proto typed for a 70 Camaro project we are building and I found with a few design changes will allow it to fit a few others cars. We test fit on a 1967 Chevelle, 1967 Camaro, 1970 Camaro and a 1969 Camaro. Slight modification required to fit 1st gen Camaros.

I'm having a bunch made to offset the cost and I am offering them for sale to anyone that could use it.

Its CNC machined from 6061 aluminum natural finish.

Mounts at the brake booster/master cylinder studs and x2 1/4" studs that go through the firewall. You must drill the 2 holes in the firewall.

Mounts most masters with a 2 1/4" bolt pattern. We use the compact Wilwood masters on all of our builds.

Prices start at $130.00 each and includes x2 5/16" studs, x2 5/16" nuts and x2 1/4 x 28 studs and nuts. Comes assembled and does not include master cylinder, hoses or pedal adapters.
We may put a kit together if these move well.

Dealers are welcome. We can engrave your company or project name on the flat section for that custom touch.
*Dealer and large quantity discounts available.

Nice Vince! Looks like a killer piece.

Vince@Meanstreets
11-11-2013, 10:56 AM
Thanks for the interest guys.

Cwylie, yes, it uses the stock pedal. It also works with the Clayton pedals(70 camaro tested). You may have to redrill your pedal. From all of our test cars the stock rod hole lines up perfectly since it lines up with the factory clutch rod pass through hole.

I'll put a complete list of parts needed on my web store to make it easier to work out. I'm putting a kit together as we speak.

Could you make one for 62-67 NOVAS?

Vince@Meanstreets
11-11-2013, 11:57 AM
as soon as I get a test car or a good outside and inside picture yes!!


Do you have stock man trans pedals?


edit: looks likes yes. You would just use the two top holes for master mounting. You could drill the two lower holes to run a nut and bolts through for more bracing.

Thanks! The part we use to do was 1/8" steel but I found a great machine shop to work with. Mostly cause he keeps the same hours I do. 24/6.

yep, I live there....they even keep a coffee cut for me at the counter. LOl

We will be making our hex rods. No one makes a combo threaded part. 5/16" and 3/8". I enjoy being able make stuff from scratch. Its just fun.

Awesome bracket Vince! I haven't seen anything come close to being that nice. :cheers:

I haven't modified my firewall for the steel bracket yet. Will this fit on my 68 with a Wilwood 7/8 bore manual brake master cylinder with stock pedals? I don't have the master or pedal mount in the car yet so I have no idea where the MC push rod lands on the brake pedal.

I don't know how you find time to design parts, work on cars, and help all of us on Lat-G. I see your posts all over the place. 24x7 is right! :thankyou:

Thanks, it was a part I made for a few of my client projects and I thought I'd run a bunch more and try to sell retail.

Yes, it will fit a stock firewall and you may have to drill your clutch pedal. Most already have the hole for it. You just have to verify the hole location from the pivot. Your stock pedal bracket will locate everything for you and the man and auto bracket is the same.

Find the time, I really don't but without the help of my buddies like my machinist @ Creations Unlimited aka "Dstryr" i'd go bat crap crazy. Yes, it really is a 24/7 ordeal. :relax: But I love doing it.

Ok cool! I figured you had the clutch linkage all dialed in. I was curious if the 1/4 or so bracket thickness that spaces out the brake master cylinder works with a manual MC. I see your pic has a power brake booster. I'm assuming the minimal difference over direct mounting the brake MC to the firewall is made up with the hiem or clevis adjustment correct? Sorry if I'm repeating myself just want one of these and hoping it fits my application! Please let me know when the complete kit is available. :thankyou:

you just adjust your master or booster push rod out for desired pedal height.

It will fit a manual master set up.

Vince@Meanstreets
03-04-2014, 10:03 AM
Looks like the 70 is the same. Bracket will fit 68-72 with a little bit of work.

You will have to trim the steering column mount plate opening on the firewall to have the bracket fit flush.

I'll have to get a 70 clutch pedal to verify the ratios.

Hi Marco,
yes, we just added a full kit but we are not in stock on a few small parts that are being shipped. Looking at 8 days before we start shipping.
We are using a GM actuator part number 24264182 and adding a 22" bleeder hose kit to it.
you can order here.

Hey Vince,
Is this something that's likely to happen soon or could this be months out. I have just purchased new crossbar and clutch linkage to go mechanical but if this is something that is coming relatively quick I might be able to hold out.

Side note: wondering if this bracket could be made to clear a power brake booster and also not interfere with the wiring bulkhead. Some of the brackets I've seen are for only manual brake applications.

I had that issue too that's another reason why I made these for my car. It will fit a stock, DSE and aftermarket boosters. It also clears the Camaro and A body fuse panel. If a guy is going to install an American Auto wire upgrade kit it would be a great opportunity to move the bulkhead over a half inch.

If I can get my hands on a Chevy II pedal bracket and pedals I could get it done 2 or 3 weeks.

Let me see what I can come up with.

Bad Bowtie
03-05-2014, 08:18 PM
Sounds good... This is I think the smallest booster I could get so hopefully it will clear that. I know it doesn't give a good shot, but I can get more if needed.

Does it flex at all on the bottom of the bracket? No flex if you run the reinforcement holes at the lower section. From what I have seen the firewall will flex before the bracket.

Not sure. Would you have a picture of your firewall? These have been run on a few a-bodies with some modifications.

These should. We have tested on a 67,69 & 71 Chevelle, 70 GTO, but with a little work. Its at the pedal and the steering column output firewall flange...
You can use the existing zbar rod mount but the pedal pressure is a tad high so we used a 3/4" bore master to correct that. In-fact we now recommend using the 3/4" bore and they seem to work fine with most actuators we have used.

You will also have to trim and modify your firewall so the plate is seated flat. One of my customers made a 10g spacer plate.

Yep, we made the modifications to fit with the hydratech hydra boost.

Make sure your bolts at your pedal bracket are long enough. We haven't had any short ones yet. You will have to trim your firewall flange.

Also, if you are running them on an A body I recommend a pedal stop, over travel can damage your slave/actuator/release unit. Please make sure you measure. The master has a 1.2in travel and I usually limit to 1" to comp for firewall flex.

All orders shipping till 5pm today out in the AM.

Stock ls7 clutch with quicktime bell housing and the gen5 Camaro slave.

Anyone with advice on the actuator would be appreciated

Thanks
Steve

From what I have been reading looks like you will have to use the LS7 actuator. PART NUMBER 24237634

I have the actuators added and also the adapter fittings.

Steve, I will email you with an update.


Vince

I have basically the same set up, I use the Wilwood .750 with the caddy ctsv to bearing

Did you need a feed line adapter? http://www.shop.meanstreetsperformance.com/LS7-Clutch-Actuator-feed-line-adapter-fitting-GTO-CADI-CAM-C6-C7-MSP-LS7adapt14.htm

BIG thanks to Vince for researching and finding a solution to the LS7 application and also sourcing the parts for me !! Gotta love vendors like this ...

And thanks NYCITI, good to hear about the hydroboost clearing. Just an FYI to all, Jim from Hydratech was awesome to deal with yesterday as well, he spent a good 1/2 hour going over the specifics of my application ... great guy

Thanks again Vince

I had that issue too that's another reason why I made these for my car. It will fit a stock, DSE and aftermarket boosters. It also clears the Camaro and A body fuse panel. If a guy is going to install an American Auto wire upgrade kit it would be a great opportunity to move the bulkhead over a half inch.

If I can get my hands on a Chevy II pedal bracket and pedals I could get it done 2 or 3 weeks.

Let me see what I can come up with.
"
Thanks for all the effort and obviously a great product. Would you please expand on the combo using an American Autowire fuse panel? You said this would be a great opportunity to move the bulkhead over half an inch, I have a 66 Chevelle, and according to American Autowire they send a paper template that they want you to expand the firewall opening to fit the new fuse panel bulkhead.

will the American autowire panel clear the pedal and master cylinder bracket you make?

Hi,

Yes, they fit together just fine. The bracket fits just below it. The another kit that we removed runs right into the flasher unit. You can see the old hole to the right.

the shaft goes where the red circle is and thats the AAW template.

Hey Vince,
Is it odd that Scott had to do a tab on the clutch arm? It's a stock 73 clutch pedal assembly. Also, what issues will I run into with an American Autowire kit for a 73 Camaro?

Hi JJ,

I have several different length adjuster rods...looks like the short was put in the kit. Im not sure how that will effect the ratio...might increase it. I'll do some math in the AM.

Let me know if there are any issues with it. I can send you the 4 inch bar. That should put the heim above the existing arm hole.

It clears just fine with the AAW box on our test car.

No, you should be good. We are running the same set up on another car. But, what flywheel are you running?

If you go with the full kit the slave that fits the TKO600 has shims to get the right placement match the clutch face. Flywheel choice MAY be a problem.

It may work with the adjustable clutch slave/actuator. Is the clutch and flywheel on the engine already? I can use the face to bellhousing flange measurement to find out.

We use the truck flywheel (Sachs pn NFW1050) then we can use a standard SBC or BBC 26 spline clutch set up.

You can search the NFW-1050 part number for applications then search for a performance version. Fidanza or Hays both have AL versions.

Also interested in parts or a kit for my 69 Camaro. Sent you a message thru your e-store. If I went with Item #: MSP-BCBPKIT69, what reservoir does it come with? Then I would just need the GM LS FBody style slave and AN line and a speedbleeder?

LS3, built 98-02 FBody T56, Quicktime RM-8020 bellhousing, most likely a monster stage 2 clutch, and the 28lb steel flywheel (RAM, I think).

Matter if I run manual brakes w/o a booster? Want to add Hydraboost later on..

Thanks a ton.

Hi A,

I was just replying to your email.

It will work just fine with a Hydratech boost unit. We made a few revisions to work with their bracket.

Correct, QT bell 8020 can use the F body slave/actuator.

The master cylinder kit comes with a few choices of reservoirs.
No problem, this is why I put the kits out, so guys can piece them together if they wish.

Let me know if you need anything else.

There is a slight kick out at the bottom where the master cyl mounts that is not flush to the firewall but besides that it is flush. Once the brake master is bolted up its really hard to tell its not flush. I am very happy with mine and would not hesitate to to use it again.

What year and model? Thats how mine fits. The mount where the brake MC is sits flat, but because the bracket has a bend, it bows out towards the bottom. I would need to seal a large gap as is.


Pictures by chance?

The gap and pretty small and I was not too worried about sealing it but I did get this seam from a buddy and I was going to try to use it.

Source please.

on the cars that we have installed these on I cut out a slot in the factory block off plate for the shaft to fit through. Very small hole. And a bead of RTV around the bracket.

01-16-2015, 01:49 PM
Yeah it will fit inside for sure. A buddy was working on a old CJ7 that didnt look like it had a top on it in the last 30 years so the last thing he was worried about was the firewall being sealed. I saw it sitting there and he gave it to me so I figured I would give it a shot.

Overall I am very pleased with the bracket. Looks great and doesnt have any flex.

I was wondering if you had to make any modifications to the pedal on a 71 Chevelle. I want to pick up a set of pedals that is from a member here in the for sale section and the pushrod mount is moved up a little bit and I want to use your setup with the pedals. I am concerned that the pedal will not work with the pushrod bracket modified and moved up. In his pictures it looks to be around a 1/2inch. I understand that you can't give me a straight answer, just looking for some direction. Thanks.
