I dunno, I suggested an O-ring groove, but Mastr has a plan.  ;D

That would have been My choice as well. We O-ringed the side plates on the Fortin in the 5 car after the first race and never looked back. Somewhere over the years, they started O-ringing them as well..........

Tell us about the electric power steering.  Brand/dealer?  Is that the 2K+ unit?

Power steering unit.

I see in the pics you are running an hanging pedal set.

do you pre-fer the hanging pedals over the floor mounts?

have you used both style's?

if so does the hanging ones provide more leverage ?

the reason I ask is because I am having an issue with to stiff of a clutch. I know that I have a v-6 powerplant but I either need more leverage or a bigger slave cylinder , I think I have the biggest slave now but not sure yet. my rail is still raw so I can make changes to it. I am running the jamar floor mounts now  11/16" & 7/8" brake.

Bigger master, stiffer pedal...

Last car was floor.I didn't really like the feel of the pedal there.So I decided to try hangers.
have you used both style's?

if so does the hanging ones provide more leverage ?Leverage,IMO no but depending on seat height in relation to pedal height might make a difference in "feel".

the reason I ask is because I am having an issue with to stiff of a clutch. I know that I have a v-6 powerplant but I either need more leverage or a bigger slave cylinder , I think I have the biggest slave now but not sure yet. my rail is still raw so I can make changes to it.

Use a smaller master then or increase the leverage ratio of the clutch arm..

Hangers do generally have a higher lever ratio than floor mounts... ;D
