clutch slave, fluid versus wire Options

[Gunn1]

I looked back (did a search) trying to locate a ready made set up that would replace the old clutch cable stuff and replace it with a Hydraulic/slave cylinder configuration. I found a few photos and a few posts saying there would be a kit forthcoming, but up to this point I haven't come across it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Also saw a "hydraulically" actuated throw-out bearing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) This would be for a stock 75' 2 liter and tranny.
Also want to keep the pedal locations stock (I'm tall) the car also has the front and rear sway bars. Even more importantly does anyone have experience with either set up. Any thoughts or pointers in the right direction would be great.

The hydraulic clutch was done years ago by "a914guy" using a CNC slave cylinder and a master cylinder from a 928 Porsche (if I remember correctly). The hydraulic lines and fittings were 3AN size. The line does go through the tube before fitting attachments.

The most complicated factor is welding a mounting plate onto the underside of the body next to the brake master cylinder; then set the arm length from the clutch to the master cylinder (rod does attach to the pedal arm without too much trouble.)

Add a reservoir to the top next to the hydraulic one and run a line down and attach.

The bottom right side of the transmission with a makeup bracket to hold the one end of the slave cylinder and the other one attaches to the clutch yoke arm using the existing metal shift cable wedge.

I think you will find the details either by contacting "a914guy", a search under hydraulic clutches, or getting me off my old dead ass and take some photos.

This example is one of the only ones that you can get details to where you can use the ideas to build your own.

I built A914GUY's hydraulic clutch which is on my car. I used Wilwood slave cylinder #620-1033 and matched the shorty Wilwood master cylinder to it. Make sure you match the bore sizes as recommended by the manufacturer. (Something like 3/4 inch master; 7/8 inch slave).

Hope this helps you.
