Default Trying to find Gt2 clutch bracket

Cant for the life of me find anywhere that still does the bracket.

Vivid/Agency power - no longer do it nor have the cad drawings
evoms - out of stock and back order

Don't want the bbi kit either. no drilling the gearbox either

Anyone have any ideas on who to try?

What's wrong with the bbi?. The trouble with the OEM setup is you have to pull the transmission to install the inverted clutch fork.

Oh wow they want $1300 for the bbi slave. I'd just drop the trans and go OEM.

id rather use the gt2 stuff. As if anything fails I can get the stuff easily. If anything from bbi fails I need to get it from the states

i dont want to drop the trans again or drill the trans that’s why i want a bracket.

I found a thread on 6Speed about someone copying the EVOMS bracket kit. Whew, what a read. At first I was about to say you need to drill the case no matter what until I realized there was a conversion bracket to use the same hole as the OEM slave.

The guy who made the bracket originally is "dgreen78" It looks like he was last online here on Rennlist in February of this year, so you might try to message him for one. https://rennlist.com/forums/members/48030-dgreen78.html

I'm simplifying this, but you can just plug the feed and return lines of the stock slave, disconnect the coupler in the PS reservoir, and then you can run DOT4 in the clutch line from the reservoir. It's a poor man's GT2 conversion. It's also essentially mimicking what BBi accomplished with their kit (except theirs just circulates the fluid from the PS reservoir to make install easier). If you can't find the bracket you're looking for then that could be a viable option.

The pressure needed when it’s done like that is enormous. It’s not fun. When going to the gt2 slave and master the piston sizes are matched

Not trying to be argumentative, but have you had firsthand experience with a car that has used this mod? It's my understanding that swapping out for the GT2 clutch spring is essential. You could also swap in the GT2 clutch MC, but I'm not sure if that piston is any different than the turbo's. Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

I'm dropping my trans this week to address a broken element in my pressure plate/TO bearing. Have been doing a lot of research with regards to converting to the GT2 set-up. Leaning towards doing the conversion with OEM GT2 parts rather than modding the OEM turbo setup.

id be doing it all. Master and slave and the spring, get new lines created too.

just the bracket I need. But I’m going to get a broken slave and measure up and design one.

I might have one in a box somewhere. I saved it when I did the "real" GT2 conversion. Can't recall which manufacturer it was.
