STB on 5-speed

[Baddflash]

Was going to order a STB but noticed that it would be directly above or in the clutch MC reservoir. Has anyone with a 5-spd added a front STB and what was done with the reservoir, or was it fine where it was?

With the autos, they clear the Alt without a problem.. So there shouldnt be an issue, unless I missed something in the pics..

Just remove the STB if you have to work on the car for any reason. I have to, and so does everyone else.

i ran into the same problem when i tried to fit a home made STB on my Cutty. i was going to relocate the clutch M/S reservoir to a different spot on the strut tower, and use a longer hose to the M/S.

 

btw, nice looking engine bay! i'm digging the dual 3-point dogbones....

Mine fits fine, but I haev to remove it for everything, even plug changes

I'm running the F-bar and it clears the master cyl, but you have to remove it to check your clutch fluid.

where were you ordering your STB from?

Thanks everyone! I'm just gonna get the F-BAR and weld it to the upper strut plates. I guess it's just one more thing in the way when I try and do something, I'm used to that now. This car used to be so easy to work on but it didin't have any options, it's atleast 10x harder to work on now then when I first got it. But it's loaded to the nuts, so it's worth it.

 

Oh yeah, 135k on the original motor.
