GOOD DAY ALL!!!
WhOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!! Guess what I got in the mail today!?!?! YEP!!! The clutch tubing parts came in today!! I was worried that it wasn't pre-bent... IT IS!!! I'm so excited I don't have to worry about dealing with that portion!!! I have to order about ten... Just so I will have them avail...
So, I was looking back and noticed that I didn't have some items noted... This is the Clutch Delay Valve (CDV)... It slows the rate at which the clutch is engaged for inexperienced drivers... It annoys those of us that know how to use the clutch...
I removed this one... See the smaller diameter insides?
Here is the pedal area I cut away using the tape template I made from the stock E39 brake pedal... I cut away all the yellow and tada!!
From right to left, we have the stock E39, the modified version I won't use (pre 2001 brake pedal), and the good one with the cover...
This is the pre 2001 pedal... Bearings and different design... I don't like it!!
Here are the new parts... I am so crazy excited this is pre-bent! Really!! You have NOOOO idea!!!
and I got ten of these... ECS made me buy ten... They fill the hole where the brake fluid supply comes in from the master cylinder reservoir... There is just a plastic plug in that hole now...
I got ten of these too... Think ECS made me buy ten of these too... Clutch stop buffer... Non-clutch units don't have them... Duh, right? Guess you could fashion anything to go there... BUT...
and my unit all ready to go... I might start getting the updated input clutch cylinder... It has a slot for the start-disable and cruise-lockout in one hall-effect switch... Maybe... if the parts are cheaper, I'll go that route... I'm pretty sure the newer version (not pictured) is way more plentiful in the salvage yards...
Oh, I got fluid hose... Could just save it from the E39 you pull the pedal assembly from... Or have new... 6 in one; half dozen in the other...
Okay, that is all I have for now...
Cheers!!!
