QUOTE(acox914 @ May 24 2003, 02:58 PM) hydraulic clutch? way cool! how/where are you going to plumb it? Hard-line goes right up the clutch tube. It's the perfect fit - just like it was made for it. MC is an aluminum Tilton (Brad's suggestion). Flex line to bridge from firewall to engine mount bar is a brake flex hose. Piece-o-cake. I love it when a plan comes together. Oops, almost forgot - 2psi residual presure valve to prevent drainback & spongy feeling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Total project cost was about the same as 2 clutch cables, so I figure if it lasts 5 years it'll have paid for its self (in addition to the pleasure of not having to adjust a stinking cable every month). -Ben M. |

Nice Ben. What are you using for a master cylinder? Where is it mounted?

Sound like it could be a really easy kit to put together... I hope you can take pictures of the install of the MC and hard lines.

Gint,
You mount it right next to the other MC. Flip the clevis over for the stock clutch cable and use it to push on the new MC threaded shaft for the clutch. Great job Ben (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) We are getting ready to do this on 930 converted 914. I typically use Neal... but the CNC is a tad shorter. I like it. B |

Brad, post some pics as this looks like a killer mod to do. I am tired of fighting the clutch cable!

How about using a clutch mc off a RX7? Nice and small design.

The Tilton/Neal/CNC MC's have a two bolt setup almost identical to the stock MC. You drill two holes..weld a thin scab plate to the flat wall area ..and mount it next to the stock MC. I use a second brake resovoir for the fluid.
Make that 3 holes.. 2 bolt holes and one BIG one for the MC itself. B |

Nope, you get to substitute the joy of bleeding the clutch hydraulic system, and flushing the system every other year.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I think I might prefer the hydraulic throw-out bearing (!!!) that Wevo has. Don't know if they've got one for the 901, but there was one for the 915! Kewl stuff. --DD |

The Mazda one has a built in resevoir that sits on it. I have one laying around. I was toying with installing it but hadn't come up with the solution at the other end.
I thought WEVO had one for the 901? Geoff |

I dont think there would be enough room under there for the resovoir.. you know how hard it is to getbthe lines in the stock MC (no room)

Looks a lot like mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Works great, i used all wilwood bits. Pretty much the same thing though. I went with hard line all the way back except for some braided at the master and slave. I have since switched to braided from the firewall back since I realy didn't like how unsupported the hardline was hanging out there. -Aaron G. |

QUOTE Looks a lot like mine :D (snip) -Aaron G. Nice! I like it better than mine - your mount has the slave in better alignment with the fork. I think tonight I might go out and fab a new mount like yours. Thanks for posting the pic. -Ben M. |
