    UUC vs. eBay Clutch Stop

    Hello, does anyone have experience with either?

    http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-38...tm_campaign=CS




    Without a doubt the UUC one looks much beefier but is it worth twice the price?

        You can make a really nice clutch stop for about $2 and a trip to ace hardware.

        I like UUC but you'd be mad to spend $20 plus shipping on a bolt, a nut and a bit of rubber.

                    you can make them for $2, why would you buy them for $10+?

                        All you need is an 40mm long M10 bolt (I have to double-check the thread pitch) and a rubber "foot," like what your grandpa has on the bottom of his cane. If you want to get fancy, you can buy a lock-nut (or a pair of regular nuts) to lock it down. You can buy everything you need for a couple of bucks at any hardware store.

                        The original is an M10, but you're right that a 3/8-16" should fit.

                          I think the thread pitch is 2.0 or 2.5mm (coarse). I just bought a couple bolts in different thread pitches since they cost like 10 cents a peice. then I spent the extra 10 cents on a couple nuts to lock it in place, and finally, I got all crazy and spent $1.00 on a set of rubber bumpers from the bottom of a chair.

                          $10 for something that should cost ~$1.50 is stupid too.

                            M10 - 1.5 pitch
                            e30 seat-to-floor bolt (shorter)
                            e30 CAB lollipop bolt (40mm / longer)

                            Opted to run the shorter seat bolt.

                              Don't these increase clutch wear? I've been driving without a clutch stop for years... eventually your foot knows exactly where to clutch in without even needing a clutch stop. At the race track I don't notice the difference anyway.
