Newbie Question, what is Kleiner Fluffy's Bowl Mod????

[maginter]

OK, so I have looked for it and I see references, but have not found what it is. So, what exactly is the Kleiner Fluffy's Bowl Mod??? What purpose does it serve?

TIA,

Mark

A SS pet bowl used tp cover the hole in the splash shield when using hydro boost power brakes.

HA! When using either vacuum or hydroboost power brakes the master cylinder moves forward conflicts with the splash panel by just a bit. Some just cut a hole and leave it open but years ago while building one with power brakes I was inspired one day when I was in PetSmart buying cat food. A stainless steel pet bowl is the answer! I just use a hole saw to cut a hole in the splash panel and use "Fluffy's" bowl to close up the opening. I've used the same on several builds with power brakes since. It does not intrude far enough to contact the tire.

Something like this will do:

OK, to remove the interference of the MC? Anyone got a picture? Just curious.

Cool idea! Makes it look a lot cleaner... I am going to do this on my PB install. I was looking at how I was going to handel the hole.

Thanks for sharing!!!
