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.

I desperately need something like this for dad's car along with some sort of button operated actuator as my dad can't push in the clutch very well any more

You may want to increase the leverage on the cable roller assy. by replacing it with a lever instead of a roller. It takes a little engineering but it works. Rnellums did a similar arrangement with his trans even though its a Subaru trans - it works really well. Lessening the effort makes it easier for him to push=better driveability for him.

That's not a bad idea. If it were very easy he could do it..
