Thanks for the link btw!
Yeah I messaged him about it first. Only been on the car for two months.
Asked about the slave seals etc and all seems good so worth the punt at £80!

Definitely worth it, it does make me wonder why this Sheddist fella doesn't make these anymore. I know everyone says he's difficult to get hold of - is he even aware that people still want these?

Dark Ice Designs have realised that this is a bit of a niche product, and becoming a bit of a "necessity" now for us ZS owners, so they've jumped in basically where he left off - can't blame them really.

I only bought the Dark Ice clutch bits as I knew it would be a mission to get hold of Mr Sheddist, he's obviously locked away in a cupboard somewhere with no access to the outside world or a very busy man!

This^
It was on my list for next month but with it being my birthday and it being so cheap I had to jump at the chance.

I think he is doing then cheaper now too due to managing to source the masters more cheaply.

Ah right, all I seem to read is how difficult he is to get hold of!

£80 is a steal for that!

Bargain, I think I paid £180 from DID a couple of months back.

........ does anyone know what the slave cylinder on a Sheddist kit is originally from!! I got ripped off by the infamous George McMurdie, charging me £200 for a knackered second hand Sheddist kit which has leaking seals on the slave cylinder!!!

If you are willing to stretch to it sheddist is dispatching his kits - I received mine today £150 posted. You'll then have the peace of mind that its all solid.
