  • K24R Clutch Linkage Brace

    It's been a long time coming but I've finally managed to get a batch of these in for a sensible cost

    This kit prevents breakage of the flex joint of the expensive 6 speed master cylinder fitted to all ABY S2 and RS2 cars and can be used on any other B3 or B4 to reduce flex in the clutch pedal to cylinder linkage.

    Each kit contains -
    • 2 custom designed, water cut and machine finished mild steel brace plates, zinc plated for corrosion resistance.
    • Hardware to fit and forget.

    I have been running the prototype for over a year on my car, after my replacement master cylinder started to fail at the linkage joint, and it has been perfect for 18 months! These new parts are further over-engineered to provide a reliable solution to the problem. Much better than £150-200 for a new master cylinder (6 speed specific and at a significant premium) and several hours' labour to replace it... for it to fail again after 30k miles, like mine nearly did! Afterall, the hydraulic components are not the issue here.

    Due to the small batch and high quality of these parts, the cost per kit is £35 delivered in the UK, £40 to Europe and the RoW by request. That's less than 1/4 of the price of just the replacement master cylinder alone. This is a fit and forget part and will last the remianing life of the master cylinder and can be transferred to any replacements in the future.

    I have attached pictures of the parts without the final hardware fitted but will update soon.

    There are only 10 of these kits available at this time. If there is higher demand then I can run further batches with a cost saving for a larger batch.

    To answer a question I've had - this brace can be fitted with the master cylinder and pedal in position and in most cases will not even require the clutch pedal linkage length to be adjusted All you need to do is take out the trim under the steering wheel and get contorted in the footwell.

                    Sweet Let me now how the fitting goes (it shouldn't require anything undoing) and take some pics.

                            With the post office, you're looking at £10 extra so £45 delivered.
