Default costs

I'm sure you can buy those clutch cylinders at a speed shop, but I got the pair off ebay for about $350 Canadian and that included the master cylinders and flexible stainless wrapped brake lines. While welding I accidentally got some slag on one of the lines-burned right thru it!

One thing I regret was I used a straight threaded rod which pushed the piston in directly to the master cylinder. The initial rod was too light(I think 5/16") and it bent under the pressure required to make the brake work. I welded some angle to the rod to re-enforce it and that works fine. I should have used heavier stock for the rod from the tiller bar to the piston(maybe 1/2").
