I am in the process of swapping a 347 to a coyote with a TKO500. I had Forte’s hydraulics clutch. I bought a new bracket from Forte but the clutch slave will not bolt up to the new bracket. The clutch slave measures 2 3/8 center to center on the mounting bracket. The new bracket is 2”. I spoke with him today and he said he couldn’t help because they discontinued the 2” slave. I’m willing to buy a new slave or the slave and bracket. Any ideas ?

PM me with the specs and I can machine one for you most likely.

That's an odd response IMO. Right, the CNC slave cylinders used for many years are no longer made. CNC ceased operation. But he's still selling the kit and apparently has found a replacement for it. Seems to me it would either be interchangeable or he's had to modify the brackets to fit the currently available slave cylinders.

Thanks for the offer Garage guy but I was able to get a local place to CNC one . I agree that it was a strange response from Mike . I checked Speedway and the have a slave with the same measurement as mine.

Glad to hear you were able to figure something out it's strange though I have a TKO 500 from Forte with the new kit and slave cylinder I bought it right when CNC shut down. Had no problem installing it.
