Hydraulic Clutch info.

So how is it driving it on the street? :3gears: :3gears:

Finally some pictures. :Comp:

Here is a shot of the lines hooked to the master. This is all that will be visible once the fenders are in place

 

Here is a picture of the lines hooked to the master cylinder.
The arrow points to where the steel line meets the braided hose. I wound up cuting the braided hose as it was ridicously long and flaring it with a #4 union, then adapting the #4 to 3/16 brake line. Dealing with the braided hose wasn't bad, just requires some patience, and some lube. I mounted the line against the firewall with a clip.

As you can see from the picture, one line goes to the resiviour, and the other loops to the braided hose and into the howe bearing.

 

more pictures of the lines:

Once bled, the bleeder line will need to zip tied up, only so it is off the ground. easy stuff.

 

Here's pics of my conversion.

I put the master cylinder in a little higher and less angle. The fill line ended up needing a bajo fitting to clear the brake booster (not like the picture show's).

I used a Ram Hydraulic Throwout Bearing. The bleed is not at the very top and I have to jack the car on one side to get it bleed all the air.

I'm also going to buy a threaded shaft from McMaster Carr to replace the threaded rod (bent a rod already). I also want to add a stop to the clutch pedal to keep from bottoming it out against the MC.

Overall it works well.

Thanks for the posts!

 

I know its an old thread and after about a year i finally mounted my hyd slave cylinder for my hyd throwout bearing.

With the help of the v8 board i improvised the bracket..which someone should supply.

Made a cardboard template then used light gauge steel and bent in a brake.

Recently I talked to McLoed (my kit came from them) and asked if they have a bracket yet for the "A" body's and they said no and that there a only a few people that request one?

Heres the pics..
Remote reservior mounted near the windshield wiper.

Hope to see if it all works in the coming months...5 years and countingray:

 

Here are a few pics for a conversion I did 4or5 years ago. Bench bleed the unit before you install it, air goes to the highest part of the master. The outlet to the slave is pointing down so if its mounted the air will get trapped up top. I modified the clutch pedal rod by cutting it, drilled and tapped a hole in it with a jamb nut. That way I still kept the off set in the rod to keep things lined up. Also the slave I used has a constant running release bearing so I had to build a adjustable stop to keep some press on the bearing at all times to keep it spinning. I will see if I can find more pics.....
