I started fabrication of the clutch master cylinder mount last night. I was able to get the holes for both master cylinders cut and the two holes drilled that are use to mount the plate to the pedal cluster. I should get the plate trimmed down and installed tonight. As I was removing the pedals I realized that I may have a problem. My coolant hoses appear to occupy the same space as the new clutch master cylinder. I am not sure what it is going to take to make it all fit but as soon as I get the new plate mounted I will start working on a solution.

Once you trim the plate down you just have to move the hoses around a bit. May need to slacken them a little. It's a lot of stuff to put in that small space but it'll fit.

Looking good. Chris is correct. It is like trying to shove 2 gals of shit into a 1 gal bucket.

I was able to get the clutch master cylinder mounted yesterday. I will be working on building the hydraulic line and mounting the reservoir. I expect to have the clutch bled and operational today.

Clutch master cylinder installed. I am not sure why my photos post up-side down? They appear correct before they post.

To get everything to fit a few of the parts needed a little mill time. The clevis was contacting the clutch arm and the accelerator cable arm. After a few minutes on the mill everything worked great.

The bolts that hold the brake mater cylinder on are not long enough to add the new mounting plate and still engage the nut. They need to be replaced. The factory welded them in to the pedal cluster. I had to cut the old bolts out with a dremel tool and weld a new set in.

Thanks Kent for the information!

You're almost there! Thread the -3an line going to the slave clylinder through the clutch tube. It fits perfectly. And if you lie on your back with a flashlight you should see a hole above where the MC is that's about the right size for the reservoir feed line. It's a tight fit bit it works.

Perfect timing! I just got out into the garage to start looking at how to run the 3an line. It appears that the fittings are threaded onto the hose? Did you use any oil when you assembled your fittings onto the hose?

I can measure mine and draw it up in SolidWorks for you. It would be very easy to have it water jetted. The only catch is that I will not be able to get to it for a couple of weeks. I don't know if any one else could get to it sooner?

I did use oil. With a line that small you just need a very small amount. It's very easy.

Here's a MUCH LARGER one being assembled.

Just make sure to feed the line through the clutch tube before you do the slave end. The hose fits EXACTLY in the tube with no extra space.

HAHA Thanks! I would have totally screw that up! I can't tell you how many times I have soldered wires together and forgot the heat shrink. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

That would be great. I wouldn't mind getting a couple made for others. I image it doesn't cost much more to make a quantity.

My 90 degree fitting is hitting the firewall keeping me from bolting the master cylinder in. I am not sure what the solution is yet. Different fitting? Cut a hole?

Can you post a wider shot? I wouldn't cut another hole. There are a lot of fittings available. Kent should be along shortly.

A little better.

I am thinking of punching a hole just above the master cylinder and turning the fitting around so it points into the interior. I need to get the hose into the tunnel anyway. It might solve the problem. The only down side is the hole would have to be a bit larger.

Problem solved. It worked out great. I just ran the 90 degree fitting through the fire wall.
