[DeTomaso] Clutch master swap out

[David Fisher]

Mine doesn't have the DeTomaso logo and does have a "Fag" label on the
rubber boot,  which is either authentic or a very good replica of
authentic.  I got mine from precision performance,  who advertises a real
"from Italy" unit (the one I bought) and a reproduction unit with a
squarish reservoir.

Seems that Fag would be German,  not Italian,  if i remember correctly...

Before i do another swap out,  has anyone played with the length of the
master push rod?
