Just installed the tick master cylinder

And I love it, its by far the greatest thing I've ever installed . It took off some flesh installing it but very worth every penny.... Highly highly recommended

How long did it take? Any special tools required? This is going to be my next mod.

Took about 2 hours for me hardest part was getting the cylinder under the brake booster and all I used was 7 mm and a 11 mm sockets obviously Jack stands and Jack

for future reference if you widen out the holes a size or two bigger you will have an easier time installing the bolts for both this or OEM master cylinder.

Yep I got a tick mc thats been sitting in my garage for a few months, haven't gotten myself up to installing it.
Definitely a nice piece.

FBJ told me the same thing the other day. Said getting the bracket lined up to the holes on the firewall was a PITA unless you did this.

Trust me I spent an hr trying to line them up. I got so damn pissed off that I got a drill and did this, went in in 3 mins (FFFFFFUUUUUUUU) afterwards I went on LS1 how to and I see they even made that suggestion.

I didn't know it was on LS how to. I got the tip from a friend about 6-7 years ago. Been doing it that way ever since. Just saves alot of time and scraped knuckles.

If you manage to get under the wire loom thats huge for no reason the holes line up relatively easy but like what was stated cut knuckles willdefinitely happen
