Just seen this on FB. dont know if its of interest to anyone. Just that the Sheddist one seems a bit difficult to get hold of.

Suppose its for the 180's etc. they do bits for the derv but think our clutch bits are OK??

Looks great, much prefer the reservoir location.

ditto, plus you can actually see when its low! The top was always a faff to get off aswell

love all the washers for pedal adjustment! I assume its just prototype and will change?

most hondas have a real neat reservoir and can be found at most scrapyards for a couple of £££ and look just the ticket rather than add-on.

Nice to see a bracket available, should sort out a few probs that these cars suffer.

That's a small brembo master cylinder, not that's expensive from ebay . Be very easy to change a Sheddist to one of these.

Problem with upgrading the clutch hydraulics in mass, ie me making kits to sell, is the price of components. Even at trade, the amount of time and effort for the money that's left after buying the slave and master is near on none. For me to get good quality slave and masters, I was looking at over £100 the pair. I came to the conclusion this is why sheddist doesn't wholeheartedly get into manufacturing them all the time. I take my hat off to anyone that can make money from them, but also question the quality of parts being used at the same time. Good to see someone else making them though, competition is a good thing for the customer.

I think a much better proposition would be to sell just the slave mounting bracket and leave people to source their own cylinders and pipe.

I had rally matt create a custom one for the Derv.

uses the metal honda/rover 600 Ti cylinders, and a brake fluid reservoir.

As a note the 400 does not need this kit as it has metal parts on it I am pretty sure, but mounted differently if they aren't hence why it was easy to go with the 600Ti stuff.
