Installing the clutch banjo to the pedal? (Page 3/3) Raydar AUG 29, 04:05 PM quote Originally posted by fierosound: I was having a similar problem. The brass bushing fits the stud fine, and it fits in the banjo fine. But trying to get all three parts together hasn't worked so far because of the offset - they will line up when it's together. Even light tapping didn't help. The bushing is too precise - an extra 1/1000th of an inch clearance on ID and OD may help. I had the same problem when I converted my car to a manual. The fit is so precise that the pieces will not slide together if they are not aligned perfectly. This with Rodney's master and bushing. Once I had the alignment correct, it was no longer a problem. fierosound AUG 29, 07:49 PM quote Originally posted by Raydar: I had the same problem when I converted my car to a manual.

I had no movement in the pedal either to get things lined up. I DID try every-which-way before loosening the master cylinder. pmbrunelle SEP 11, 06:04 PM quote Originally posted by fierofool: Just use your old one. They're the same except for the hole size. Do you mean that the early "large hole" banjo rods are the same as the later "small hole" banjo rods, except for hole size? I'm wondering if I can install a later master cylinder and later hydraulic line, with an early banjo rod and early pedal.

Make an adjustable banjo and you can mix and match to your heart's delight. pmbrunelle SEP 11, 06:50 PM I want to know if I can mix and match with unmodified parts! Patrick SEP 11, 07:40 PM If you're mixing and matching, you're already modifying. 1985 Fiero GT SEP 11, 09:31 PM quote Originally posted by dobey: Oh, I thought you'd gotten the one from Rodney. Don't know about quality of the ones from O'Reilly's, but have heard generally bad things about the ~$20-30 cast iron ones from parts stores going bad and rusting early. The aluminum master from Rodney though is great though, and the adjustable banjo makes installing and bleeding much easier to do. The slave cylinders are the unreliable cast iron ones, the master cylinders are cast aluminum, and some people say they work fine, haven't heard to many complaints, mine hasn't lasted but neither did my Rodney unit, sooooo yeah.
