[Spridgets] FW: 1960 Bugeye clutch slave cylinder

[Bill Masquelier]

I completely agree with Gerrard on this one!
It is not that the 7/8 MC won't stop you but that it doesn't take as much
peddle force for the same effect and that REALLY inspires more confidence
while driving!
I have the 3/4 now instead of the 7/8 and it makes a LOT of difference in the
"psychological" stopping distance!
