Clutch master cylinder rod keeps bending
Ok so I put a 24v pre bled master and slave on my 91 first gen with a getrag 5 speed in. I made a different bracket to go under the dash to accommodate the two bolt hole style master instead of the keyed master. After about 3 trips to town I bend the rod from the petal to the master everything is setup the same way as it is on my 24v but I just keep bending this stupid rod I have welded it back together 3 times and once cut a half inch out because I thought I was bottoming it and bending it but that wasn’t the issue. I’m really getting sick of taking the whole assembly out and straightening it any suggestions from guys that have done this before ? I’m sacred to even drive it anymore because what it that happened to me at a redlight and I couldn’t pop it outta gear...

Could it maybe be that my slave cylinderrod is too long? I’m getting a new one from rock auto as this one was lifetime warranty but still I’d like it to not bend my next one

The master looks like it is mounted too high on the firewall in that picture. The hole should be more in line with the wiring bulkhead.
Also like AlpineRAM said is the bolt on the pedal cranked down too tight making the pivot point bind?

Possibly I have it pretty tight and I’ll move that down and see what happens
