I have used alot of these. They work great. No drilling or modifying.

http://www.jmcmotorsports.com/catalo...0Clutch%20Kits.

I was setup as a dealer for them, I haven't bought from them in a while though.

I've had mine installed for 2 years now and it has been completely trouble free.

But I get all of that equipment, support an individual that makes a great product, and have the satisfaction of engineering some of the setup myself.

I'll save my $200.

I wish JMC would sell their modified clutch master cylinder. I'd pay extra for the modified flange unit.

So you have the same master cylinder. Theirs is a trick custom piece that makes it 100% bolt on. And he is only talking about saving $168. For the time in modifying and fabricating that is 2.5 hours of labor at the shop. Time is money. LOL

$440.00- $272= $168.

I understand your point about time/Money and I understand they have R&D costs, insurense costs, and overhead but you can't tell me it cost an aditional 200 to make that MC $20 at the most. the $200 we are comparing the $440 to is retail I bet JMC pays less than $200.00 for everything in the kit and it is the fact that they want to stick it to the consumer that makes me mad. I sell things as inexpensively as I can (to still make a REASONABLE profet) because I have ben there and know what it is like to build a Mustang on a budget. As far as being a bolt on that block I suggested (1 cut two holes 20 minutes top) makes it a bolt in I think JMCs kit would be reasonable at the $300.00 range
