How do you like your UPR firewall adjuster, Hissin? I bought one a while back but still need to pick up a quadrant before I put it in. Now I wonder if I should have just spent the money for a Fiore or MM adjuster.

I'm thinking MM for the quadrant... seems like they put a lot of thought into their design. Unless there's anything better out there now?

I think the UPR FWA works alright. Like I mentioned, I'd go with Joe's piece were I doing it again - I think the price has even come down a hair since when I priced it.
You know his design is awesome since it was copied. But since ya got the UPR unit, it should work fine (how often do we adjust these things? About never).
I havent used a MM quadrant so I cant comment. I'd probably go with a Fiore quadrant also (if doing it all again). It's hard to screw up a quadrant so you should be good to go no-matter whatcha' choose.

Good luck.


EDIT: I think this was answered quite well above (while I pecked).

my bro uses the mm quadrant, it's not much different, the fwa is the biggest difference.

I've used several upr setups, and have never had a problem with their fwa's, just go with the single hook quadrant as hissin did and you'll be ok.

I just wanted to get the word out. I have change the these items on three different mustangs and have tried three different types of kits.

Iv'e tried Steeda,UPR,and Micro-Click. The Micro-CLick kit is a very good kit and is the best firewall adjuster i have used by far.

Steeda's three way quadrant is the closest feel to the stocker, most other aftermarkets are quicker at releasing the clutch.

You could mismatch all the parts as you wish, but I highly recomend the micro-click firewall adjuster.

sorry earlier I said the three way steeda, but its a two way only. The UPR is three way adjusted.

this is straight from the website: www.Fioreperformanceparts.com

What makes this adjuster different than any other adjuster on the market?

To answer your question...long story short....it locks in place every 90 degrees of turn without the use of a jam nut or set screw. A spring-loaded ball bearing clicks into a machined groove in the adjuster screw threads. The adjuster can easily be turned in either direction by hand pressure but when the ball bearing is resting in the groove, there is enough resistance to keep the adjuster screw from moving on its own. You'll notice a bearing pressed into the face of the screw. The clutch cable end passes through this bearing thus allowing the adjuster screw to be turned independently from the cable

But I sounds like alot of people have the same opinion about the Foire performance. You can't loose
