That would be your slave cylinder. A clip holds it on and in place.

Yeah I'm thinking I want to get near 5/5. In process of flipping axle. Just need to bend some mounts. Might try cutting springs for temperary want beams and coils in front with axle and shackle flip on Back and probably add a leaf to keep it useable.

Rear axle is out right now and front is on bumps lol. It's going slow and room is almost as limited as money but it'll get there gonna try for some pics in the morning
