Default Mcleod Adjustable Master release date?

Have any vendors gotten any news on when these might be available?

Thanks!

Is the Mcleod Adjustable Master any better than a Ram Adj Master?

The McLeod unit is supposed to have a bigger bore and move more fluid. I have a RAM, and it simply doesn't move enough fluid to fully disengage the clutch. No matter how far I adjust it out or how much I bleed it, I'm screwed. I need a McLeod to fix the problem.

It might not be a new manufacturer. It might be old stock. I'm not sure how you'd tell.

McLeod outsources these to be manufactured by another company. If you do some searches, you'll find that the quality on the parts was horrible and gave McLeod a real black eye. They are no longer doing business with that company and are now looking to have another manufacturer take over. In the interim, there are no more McLeod adjustable masters for us.

I don't think it was old stock, they have been on back order status for months... Says it shipped UPS and should be here tomorrow.

Well I called Mcleod directly last Thursday and asked for the release day and they told me they didn't have one. Looks like you got an old stock unit.

A Vette but I figured they would both be released at the same time.

Well I know they didn't have any in F-Body ones in stock at Summit for the past couple months... They are showing the ones for the vettes in stock. Maybe they had plenty of those from before.
