I don't like how the non captured rods can fall out, it happened to a friends car and his brakes failed.

 

 

OH I know whos car that was.

Man it WAS a nice car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently replaced my 15/16 ZX MC with a 7/8" 280ZX MC. I had to shorten the push rod I had 0.25" in order to get it and the clevis up and in then simply adjusted it's length on it's threads. Works great and stops and feels much much better then the ZX master. I have 4 wheel disks so I had to use the pressure valve for the rear disks from the ZX master in the 7/8" 280Z master.

 

Man that is a lot of work to replace a clevis that works, but yours is a much better design and stronger.

Great info! Thanks!!

The clevis I made was a failure.  I finally found a source.  This vid shows the clevis I use now.
