Nice work!

I went the same route with Forte on the slave. I didn't know you had to switch the master??? I haven't put fluid in yet. So you're telling me the supplied MC won't work?

Correct. The 1" won't give you enough travel. Fortunately, I stumbled across this on the FFR forum before I filled and bled the system. Also confirmed it with Mike Forte.

I believe the problem is that the 1" master cyl. causes too much travel in the slave and will blow the seals out of it. The solution is to use a smaller diam. master cyl. or use a pedal stop to limit the stroke of the 1" master cyl.

Forte says that the 1" will work but it will be a very hard pedal. Can anyone verify this?

Matt what's the PN for your MC?

Sorry I didn't mean to hijack I'll post in the drive train section

I noticed that the body was rubbing on the bottom outside areas of the quick jack brace.
You can see where it is hitting, and this limits the body forward movement.

I made some plates to attach to the frame so that the body sides could be brought in tight, made four of them, each one different to match the body attachment points.

I welded some metal ears on the top of the dash frame so that I can remove the screws with out the rolled edge of the body getting in the way if needed, also cut a bit out and rewelded the area where the speedometer is so the dash will slide straight out.

Good idea on clearancing for the speedo. I had to do some very creative work on the speedo bracket to get it to fit properly.
