i am so jealous cuz i knew mine wont be coming within another 3 weeks. I really doubt how they could ship them out that slowly but I hope eventually the product will tell me its worth to wait.

Yeah it has a solid feel to it. Its worth the money.

I stopped by their new shop, absolutely insane they consolidated and looks like they tripled the size of the facility.

They had a room for fabrication, electrical assembly room and what not and so on.

They are definitely taking the right steps to move things forward and speed up production and shipping.

If you are looking to avoid what is becoming a common problem, our pedal reinforcement kit is the definitive solution.

If your pedal is squeaking or has started to feel different in engagement/disengagement these are warning signs that the pedal assembly is about to fail.

Our pedal reinforcement kit will significantly reduce pedal flex and by doing so will eliminate the squeaking, improve pedal feel and eliminate the chance of failure.

We also offer an addition service for those who have broken their pedal assembly.

Mazsport will professionally tig weld your broken pedal assembly and we will ALSO install our clutch pedal reinforcement kit in your in YOUR pedal assembly. This will allow you to bolt it in and eliminate the chance of future cracks for $175 with same day turn around!

This item is in stock and ready to ship!

We appreciate your business, Scott

How long does this take to install? How difficult is it on a 1-10 scale? 10 being a rotary motor rebuild, 1 being changing brake pads.

I got around to installing mine today. Everything fit nicely, looks good, and my clutch pedal cracking sound is gone!

Technically, it is a pretty straightforward install. I'd give it maybe a 2 on your scale since it does involve using a drill (be sure to have a good drill bit on hand...). It however does go pretty far up on my pain in the *** scale just because of how awkward it is to work in that area.

It took me a couple hours to do but probably could get done in an hour without running in dumb problems like a dull drill bit and dropping a nut into a random black hole...


also my hands right now look like they went through a razor blade fight. Lots of sharp metal up there... tape the sharp edges up as soon as you find something sharp

Mazsport's brackets are predrilled. You end up drilling a couple holes in the OEM bracket to attach everything securely.

Its working fine. My pedal no longer has a frightening cracking sound when pushing on the clutch pedal. I want to say the pedal feels a bit more smooth and precise in the action - but whats real and what placebo effect in that area I don't know.

the instructions are not very clear on how everything works... i myself was skeptical until i actually had everything in my hands and figured out how it was doing its intended job and saw how rediculously cheasy the stock mount is.

Did you have to purchase anything extra, like nuts, bolts, washers, etc??
