Re: All In S2k MC Spacer
or you can just make your own spacer for like 5bucks.. and buy the tool you want to
a member posted here, if he could do it over again he would just use a spacer. Read back a few pages. Said the clutch engages differently after re-threading.

No offense man, but if 5$ is going to cause you hard times..... i would have never started the project.
here... I would take this guys advice. He seems to be one of the few that actually did this mod that is currently posting. (and has drove the car)

i thought this was settled, it engages fine when you re thread and cut, but because the rod is not so short going into the mc it just feels funny, im not changing mine ill just live with it but some might now like how it changes the feel.
and no i didnt bench bleed my clutch MC or brake MC when i tucked the lines for them

If you're talking about the brake m/c, then you really should bench bleed it. I've had to do one in the car due to not having a vise at the time, and I managed to not screw up my paint by using lots of rags and cleaning it up fast (before even bleeding the lines) but I still wouldn't really recommend it unless you really have to do ti that way.

but i actually ended up buyin a tap and die set that i needed regardless (for banjo bolt) so since i already had it i thought there was no point in buyin a spacer ...i thought this was settled, it engages fine when you re thread and cut, but because the rod is not so short going into the mc it just feels funny, im not changing mine ill just live with it but some might now like how it changes the feel.

If you're talking about the clutch mc, then no. There's no real reason to bench bleed it. justslap it it and have a friend work the pedal while you bleed it from the slave. Should be pretty un-messy.

On EFs, DAs, Accords, and Preludes they (radius rods) bolt up the stock location in the LCA... On cars that didn't come with a front cross member, aftermarket "traction" bars bolt up to the bolt circled above or to the bolt that goes through the shock fork.
