Quoted from Elise-shop

“This product will prevent the bracket of the clutch slave cylinder to flex and evantually to break…
We would suggest to ask someone to sit inside your car and depress the clutch while you are looking at the slave cylinder which is fitted on the gearbox. You will see quite some movement in the bracket! This flex will slowly cause the bracket to fracture, but even more annoying, it will reduce the pressure on the clutch cylinder arm. This will result in slower gearchanges and in crunched gears.
This easy to fit bracket will fit between the clutch slave cylinder support and the engine and will remove all above mentioned flex from the system.”

Ok, so it’s the same function as the Eliseparts one.
I was looking to get one of those but like yours better!

Tell me when you’re finally making them, I’m up for one.

I’d heard the Eliseparts one wasn’t the most accurate of fits. Any comments?

Is that marine grade 5083 Aluminium alloy - “the very same material that is used to build sea going RNLI vessels, with a proven lifespan of over 100 years, marine grade aluminium is extremely resistant to corrosion”
