Still on track for the end of October? Changing out my clutch master and would love to do this at the same time. Thanks Ben!

Has anyone received their order yet? Any feedback regarding fitment and operation of the installed part?

We actually ran into the issue of not receiving the springs in time.BenGerman wrote:Yep, looking good for completing the first couple units this week.code wrote:Still on track for the end of October? Changing out my clutch master and would love to do this at the same time. Thanks Ben!
Machining is completed, we are just waiting to finish the assembly process.
I will keep everyone updated in here. I'm sorry for the delay.
Expecting to get the springs later this week.
I shipped one with the prototype spring to Jay last week. He should be able to report back soon.FLaggie96 wrote:Has anyone received their order yet? Any feedback regarding fitment and operation of the installed part?
I've been running the first prototype in my 7 for approx. 5k miles this summer with no issues.
Re: Improved Clutch Over-Center spring - no more swivel join
Thanks for the update Ben!

I know he can drink, does he drive too.
Re: Improved Clutch Over-Center spring - no more swivel join
Any update on timing? Thanks Ben.
Re: Improved Clutch Over-Center spring - no more swivel join
Hey all, Ben shipped me a production version of the over-center spring to test before he sends them all out to you. Due to some ongoing work on the car I won't have any usage feedback until next week.

Too nice to be hidden under the pedal assembly. Might have to buy an extra to hang from my rear view mirror.

Hi guys!
Sorry for no response for so long, my day time job has me working 70+h at the moment.
We have not gotten around assembling all of them yet, besides Prototype Nr. 1 that went in Jays car.
Thanks again jay for testing.
By this weekend I will switch my work phone off and focus on getting these mostly ready to ship.
I really hope you guys are patient, I know some of you are waiting to finish some repairs.
Sorry once again for the delay.
I still have a small amount left, but I think I’m getting to a point where I have to look at who asked first.
Let me get another head & piece count and I’ll let everyone know that is still interested.

Thanks for the update Ben. My clutch master is weeping brake fluid at a pretty good rate, looking forward to fixing it and dropping in your part with it!

one here please =)
Re: Improved Clutch Over-Center spring - no more swivel join
Sent some more PMs.
Once again, sorry this is taking so long.
I'm still a little overwhelmed about the participation.
Originally we thought it would be 1/4 of what we are making now...
-- Update Nov 26, 2018 10:33 PM --
Almost ready! Just finishing the last couple of pivot pins.
Springs are also all here by now.

Re: Improved Clutch Over-Center spring - no more swivel join
That’s a lot of work! Thanks Ben!
Re: Improved Clutch Over-Center spring - no more swivel join
Shipping starts tomorrow. By sunday all of them should be packed and on their way.
On more note.
While installing the spring, I would recommend looking into using a clutch stop and the pedal bracket reinforcement as well.

High recommendations from here too.
It's in all my cars.
You can feel the difference.
Now to get Whitey back in rotation.
And on that note, I see I need to update my signature.
