Has anyone used this kit? I have a collection of misc forks, Z-bars and stuff and I dont know what is what. I started the conversion 10 years ago but the bracket I had fabbed up just didnt work. This kit looks good. https://americanpowertrain.com/c-650074-hydraulic-clutch-systems-gm-complete-kit.html
Yep. I am pleased with it. Put in my 1964 Skylark. I looked at several options, and since I was doing everything but body off frame resto/mod, I went with this. The other issue was trying to obtain all the '65 GS clutch Z-bar parts. I was missing a few pieces, and just did not want to wait to put the car together. I did fab a 1/16th inch plate for the firewall out of concern for any flex, but everything was easy. (the plate as about the size of a paper plate) Failed to take pics, put the engine in to mock up, and planned on pulling it and taking pics, but then decided I did not want to wrestle the engine out and back in again, so I left it. If you go for it, just "skip to the end" of all the measurements and math for the release bearing distance and set the air gap to 1/8 inch and be done with it. And I fabbed a brass block so I could put the bleeder screw into it, as the end of the braided hose uses a female swivel, and as soon as you break the bleeder screw, fluid leaks out and air is drawn in and both pressure and pedal bleeding were damned near impossible.
It's very easy to source your own parts for this. I did it 15 yrs ago when there was no kit available. There was a thread on it. You'll save about 1/2 the money.
