    Thanks! What is the general consensus on these? Relatively durable for a cheap price or it'll break in a few years?

    I have a template that I used to mark and drill the location for the clutch master cylinder. Not sure if you already have that. I can send it to you if you would like.

    If you look underneath the dash, over by where the clutch pedal should be, you should see a tapped hole where the top mounting hole of the clutch pedal assembly bolts to.

    SPC. Participated in one of the two recent group buys. Best value for first gens imo. Will work just fine for my needs and easier to justify the expense.

    I'm still waiting to hear back. How much did they cost you in the group buy?

    New gaskets, cam plugs, half moons, spark plug seals and plugs. I painted the valve covers, plenum, and threw away a few screws.

    Hey I did this last summer and am trying to find where I got them! You are looking for the pieces that bolt into the corner of the core support and fender correct?
