McLeod Street Twin users....
I went through the same **** 2 years ago, it's very frustating. I bought a clutch from Byunspeed, got the clutch but no master, they offered me a small refund for not getting the master.
Mcleod was designing their 2nd generation master and couldn't give a delivery date, so I got on the internet and found a brand new 1st generation master but didn't really trust it because of the problems everyone was having with them. The day after I ordered the Mcleod master Tick announced they were selling a one for the LS1 F-body so I contacted them and they said they could make up one to work on my LT1. I waited as long as I could for them to deliver and finally broke down and installed the Mcleod.
15,000 miles later my Mcleod is still working great and I have an expensive Tick back up with a $20 revised mounting bracket and a sticky note from them asking me to let them know if it works so they can start selling it as a kit for the LT1.
The Street Twin is a great clutch, I don't understand why Mcleod can't come up with a master to go with it, or maybe they should just team up with Tick and sell a package.

any truth to the rumor that there really is no difference between the LS1 master vs LT1? I always heard the only difference between the two was the slaves.
I recently installed a street twin for a friend, he bought it used and the adj master needed to be rebuilt. I sent the master off to McCleod after talking with Fred and in the mean time I went ahead and installed the clutch and just used his stock master. I drove the car for a week before giving it back to him and never had one reason to feel that the stock master wasn't doing the job. Pedal engagement was also spot on. I just received the adj master back from McCleod and we are contemplating whether or not to even install it or just leave it on the shelf until/if we see a problem with the stock master.
I was very happy working with Fred on getting the master rebuilt and he also made it so I can use a standard Willwood rebuilt kit from now on. Plus, he machined an extra rod for me due to my concern that I would not be able to get one in the future if needed since they discontinued this master. Billy was also a great help when I had questions about the clearances and how to align all the disks, floater, and pressure plate since the marks were no longer visible. All this on a used clutch that wasn't purchased from them. I have nothing but good things to say about McCleod and they will get my business again in the future.
