Tick MC Install Questions
I've found a good writeup and it looks pretty damn easy. My question really is regarding the template. I see the reference hole and all that, but I'd heard that the template wasn't all that accurate? Is this true? Is there an adjustment I need to make to it? Also, does that rubber boot stretch enough or do you have to cut it to remove it from the stock MC and install to the tick?

Here you go in regards to drilling the holes.

Blue loc tite on the allen bolts (you don't want them becoming loose.
The rubber boot I heated it first in boiling water & it fit just fine.
I removed my drivers seat for the install.

Nope. I was bleeding the slave in order to try to fix my pedal drop issue. Finally start to get pressure in the pedal and fluid poured out of the rubber sleeve on the master line. I pulled the sleeve off and narrowed it down. The fluid was pushing through the braided line about 2" up from the quick connect. No visual indication it was broken, but it leaks

Yes, if you are not carefull as to what you zip tie to or don't buffer/protect areas that the braided remote line comes in contact with.
There has been instances where it has chaffed & worn a hole into the gas line & other areas.
When & If I install one I would cover it with a protective heat sox sleeve in the critical routing area.

I haven't seen one remote clutch bleeder line come with any type of heat/chaffing material with it.
The Tick's braided line does indeed come with a heat proof/non chaffing protective sleeve......but of course I added an extra (Kool-It )heat sleeve over that too.
When you have the Tic Mounted through the fire wall, leave the white plastic M/C reservoir & clamp off until you first slide on the round black GM fire wall boot.

I was referring to the braided remote clutch bleeder line that (GeneralMotors4Life) was referring to & (brplatz) had chaffing/leak issues with.

Got it all in yesterday, pedal stroke is noticeably shorter now and the way I have it adjusted the pedal grabs a little higher off the floor. It's easier to get in gear from a stop and I can finally bang gears like a proper manual transmission car. Now to address the vibration issue at 3800 RPM. . .
