    Hi everyone. I posted these pics the night before the board went down along with my description of the hydraulic setup I have put together.

    I used it for one full season last year with no problems. I went through so many master and slave combinations before I got this one to work its not even funny. The brackets are all custom made. The slave bracket bolts to the 2 holes in the bellhousing by the clutch fork and uses the old z-bar pivot on the motor as a third mouting point. The master bolts in with very little modification and fits under the brake booster completely. All that you would see is a small cup for the fluid. The clutch pedal will need to be strengthened so it doesn't bend. Otherwise its a fairly simple bolt on. I am not sure what I want to do with this setup, I was considering selling complete setups or I was thinking about just selling this one and letting someone else run with it. I just don't have enough time to get these into production. Please keep in mind that every car may need a little work to get everything fitting and working properly. Please e-mail me with any questions at gsx455man@cox.net

    Thanks

    I'm using a willwood master. It fits entirely under the brake booster. As far as attaching it to pedal goes... The clutch pedal needs to be reinforced so it does not bend under the pressure. I just ran a 1/4 inch steel bar from one corner to the other. Some minor clearancing will probably need to be done as the rod goes to the master at a different angle. Also, I used a heim joint to attach the rod to the clutch pedal, so the hole might have to be drilled out to fit the heim joint properly.

    Bob, do you have the specs for the master bracket??? That is all I need, cause I going to use Howe's hydrulic T/O bearing...
