Cspence... remember off hand what length bolts you used? Found my local place doesn't have what I need really... so I'm going to just order it. I hate ordering if I don't have at least an idea of length.... hard to return when not local...

So yah... general bolt length?

I finally got my *** back in gear on finishing that master cylinder stopper. I must say I am impressed at how much firmer the pedal now feels.

To attach it I drilled & tapped the STB and then used nylon locking nuts on the back side to keep the bolts from loosening up on me.
