How many times did Benjamin Franklin try to make the light bulb?
While the exact number of experiments is unclear, many historical articles claim that he tried anywhere from 3,000-6,000 types of materials in the light bulb before he found the one that not only worked but created a solution to the problem.

I put the Benjamin Franklin light bulb thing as a reminder~ sometimes it take trial and error to make things that hasn't been made. That's where I'm at but having fun with the challenge of making this work


I changed my mind about having the strengthening plate on the inside and put it on the outside. It just makes more sense. Red Roberts always uses 5/16 plate to reduce the chances of flex, I just wonder if 1/4" plate would work? I like this idea as I'm hoping the hydraulic line can stay connected if I were to remove it, both slave and master. The master will bolt directly to the plate instead of a bolt hole going through the firewall, all those nice holes I made ! The plywood I'm pretty sure is right at 5/16, might be 3/8.


This picture came out distorted~ grrrr I have the fitting which goes to this master allowing a screw on fitting/hose. Now I have a new challenge is making the connection of the master rod to the clutch pedal, no pics at this time. I think this does look much better and easily to get to vs under the dash. Just trying to make this reproduceable. The hole at about 2:00 is for the speedo cable and push button trans cable~ neither I'll have, plug the hole.


I don't know if Red Roberts will want to use my design for his product line, but I guess I'll get a new jig saw and cut this out when I'm darned sure it's "final"
