Re: 1990 Corvette Stick Stocker
One of the first projects that I tackled after purchasing my new Miller Diversion 165 TIG was to add manual brakes and a clutch pedal. We’ve run a hydraulic clutch in my dad’s Firebird Stocker since we built the car. The hydraulic clutch works great, it’s compact and most importantly it’s consistent. So I didn’t think twice about installing a Wilwood pedal set-up. Yes it’s more expensive than running a stock master cylinder (as Billy showed in his stocker for under a grand thread) but considering the price to purchase a stock clutch pedal (Corvette parts are overpriced) and the availability of spare parts, it made sense to go aftermarket.

Re: 1990 Corvette Stick Stocker
Pierce,
Welcome to the fold, and good luck with your project. Keep the pictures coming. Are you planning to run a solid axle, or keep the independent? I've seen a lot of really slick solid axle set ups for C4 Corvettes, particularly those done by Jimmy Parker. Ben B/S 3869 |

Re: 1990 Corvette Stick Stocker
Mr. Ed,
I had flashbacks of the building process after seeing these pictures!
