My slave cylinder cried enough, so rather than do a like for like, i like to continue my "if it breaks improve it" philosophy hehe
I have a Monster stage 3 clutch to go in, around 2 thirds of the weight of the original set up and 700lbs/ft capacity, the owner of Monster says it will still drive nicely, should sharpen up gear changes with less mass acting on the syncro's....

That's a beefy looking bit of kit! Will be interested in hearing your impressions once it's fitted..

In the beginning, I thought I was in the same league as you Paul. Since then I have watched the developments of your car with admiration and a hint of jealousy. This is one more step towards your dream car and what I dream of (I have no spare cash anymore).

I'll look forward to the next time I see it in action as it is one of the famous TVRs.

Since reading this I pulled my engine back out and sent the clutch/flywheel off to get balanced after reading some more horror story's

Turns out it was almost perfect, oh well rather do it now than when it's all built up
