Guys, I have searched the site and found lots of info about converting the 914 clutch to hydraulic actuation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Problem is this, I have a high force V8 clutch and can't seem to get the 914 pedal cluster to provide the travel and force I need without a lot of mods and a lot of force applied to the 914 floor pan. The Titon m/c that I have installed in the floor next to the brake master isn't aligned perfectly to the pedal bellcrank, is too tight to fit nicely under the car, is really hard to access for line fit up and removal, ect.... So I am opting to mount an aftermarket clutch pedal cluster on the floor next to the 914 cluster. I found one forum topic about an OEM Porsche cluster but no info about aftermarket clusters. I know it has been done, even without cutting through the floor. But I want to try and retain the pedal board and roughly the original pedal position.

Tilton has recently released a shortened (3.5") m/c, has anyone tried this unit yet? Floor or cluster?

I have seen CNC, Tilton and Wilwood pedal clusters. So are there any other manufacturers?


Brad, any thoughts


Thanks, Chris Julian


BTW, the car is ready for a test drive down the driveway once the clutch is working.
That's with no doors, no windshield, ect.. Just the basics.

Here's a shot of the car w/dad.
