Brake master cylinder brace = WIN
I've had the Carbing FSTB for well over a year now and just reinstalled the master cylinder brace it came with.
The pedal is MUCH firmer with it. Less travel to grab, less travel to brake. Really nice.
The idea is like this:
This is an old pic without it, but you get the idea:

That's one of the few things I like about that guy with the weird hair and the puke colored miata, he welded the shock tower brace in. There's a lot of fle in it since it's not really sitting on anything flat. I drilled a hole and put a bolt with a couple nuts for a MC brace, but it still flexes a bit on the shock bolts. It did help quite a bit though.

not to be picky, but for those of us who have never seen the brace, that's a pretty small picture and isn't zoomed on the business end.
I'm asking be cause I can't find a string to search for that produces pictures. This websites search function doesn't discriminate between words. If I search "master cylinder brace" i get every thread with master, cylinder, brace or any combo of the words.

Use quotes around your words, it's supposed to work but I'm pretty sure I've tried it before and it doesn't always work. There was a thread about new search features a while ago, I could be doing it wrong.
Anyways, the search is pointless, its a bolt pushed up against the master cylinder. Some people use a little nylon spacer supposedly to protect the master cylinder from damage, but I've been using a bolt out of my hardware drawer for years and it's fine.
Here's a pic on FM's site from their 2nd super four challenge car. That's all it really needs to be, a bolt against the mc.
