[Spridgets] FW: 1960 Bugeye clutch slave cylinder

[Gerard]

Billy,

There have been many who dispute the worth of going to the correct MC.  
I have known even the most adamantly opposed  have changed their mind  
once they experienced the difference. My experience is that everyone  
who has made the change has been 100% satisfied with the upgrade and  
agree that the brake and even the clutch work better. This is not to  
mention the quality of the product they get from Sierra. He is  
unquestionably the best and I have worked with Joe for more that 12  
years.

The fact is BMC changed to 3/4" bore MC's when they moved to disc  
brakes on 1098 cars and remained that way until the end of  
production.  The reality is brake pedal effort is reduced by  
approximately 1/3rd, and the clutch becomes less switch-like and gives  
a more gradual/smoother release. It's more a matter of improved  
driving experience, rather than whether it works or not. The choice is  
yours, but at least now there is a choice.
