clutch quadrant
#21
If the stock quadrant was worthless howcome the cars came with them, better yet why is my friend doing 11.50's with it? If it's fragil I'm pretty sure it would have snapped on him considering his car sees the track more then 50 times a year. As far as it being ugly goes..it's tucked up under your dash, if one of the reasons you bought it was because it looks nice that's just ridiculous.
edit: for those of you who are exaact about numbers, the 2.9 hrs is for the entire clutch pedal, the quadrant itself is only 0.4 hrs. however, i am more than confident the mechanics there will say there was damage done to the pedal assembly and will refuse to replace just the quadrant

No, the "speed" quadrants have a more pronounced mechanical advantage at the initial action which causes the clutch to release and engage) faster--my brother got one and found that for a DD it sucks...
Also, and FWIW, my experience has been that ALL after market quadrants require that you use washers or spacers (UPR ships spacers with theirs) to keep the quadrant from rattling from side-to-side, and to keep it's groove--and therefore the cable--centered with the adjuster.
This makes the action much smoother, and minimises cable wear; as does breaking the sharp edges of the cable groove with a mill file, and applying a light coat of heavy grease to the groove and cable.
