clutch bracket
ok well yesterday while i was driving home from the gym my clutch bracket broke. next thing i know my pedal is basically right underneath my brake pedal. well needless to say i had to push it to an empty lot and take it off. the bracket is no thicker then even a quarter. i gotta it welded and got it back on the car last night at like 9pm it sucked doing it in the dark.... does anyone know if any company makes a thicker bracket cuz this thing is pretty shity... thanks

This is a common problem with many RX-8s. No one sells a stronger "factory" bracket, but you can buy a reinforced (welded) version of the stock bracket from Charles R. Hill here on the forum (his company is called BHR). He is great to deal with.

buy a reinforcement kit~
|
k thanks for the advice... im still surprised how thin the bracket is.
|
Ask Charles for one of his pedals as said. They are stock reinforced pedals ( they are not just thicker) and cost something around $375. I know that you won't be disappointed ;)
|
Yes I still have some Clutch Bracket reinforcement kits and they are $130 shipped

read this thread and do all us a favor and go through with the NHTSA report:

This also happended to me last week ... I made my own thread about it too.
Im going to file through NHTSA as well. I had to order a new clutch bracket, Mine was broken pretty bad. And I'm going to have a local welder re-inforce the new one before I put it on tommorow. |

Now that's what I like to hear! Wish more would do that.
I'll take pictures for you guys. |
everyone who has this problem/ is worried about this problem:
if you live close enough to knoxville TN to drive to me, bring it on by and i'll weld it, no charge. or if you want to ship it and pay all shipping fees, then be my guest. either way, i'll weld it for free. |

Is that a Mazsport kit? I need one bad and fast. NASA starts in a couple weeks and I'd like to get this done before Willow Springs.
