    Didn't Colin Greene at one time have one that was adapted from a S10 pickup truck ??

    I think he gave up on those but if you asked I'm sure he'd hook you up.

    Sounds interesting. Here's the issue. I push the clutch pedal in and lock it down with bar but the clutch arm does not extend far enough to disengage the clutch, so I added a spacer to take up the shortage but the arm does no move any further with the next try.

    If I keep the clutch pressed down and lever the clutch arm out more the slave cylinder takes up the extra length and holds it which is weird. I have bleed the system 3 times

    Did you bleed the clutch master cylinder 100%? The one above the clutch pedal? When I had Colin's kit installed it took quite some time to get the system bled 100%. It was driving the guys at Helix nuts.

    Its not slave cylinder chris at Sneed4speed suggested the flexi pipe was bad. Which it was, the hose was expanding

    Well, at least it should be an easy fix then.
