Rebuilt my cluster. Yeah! Bitch of a job.
Whilst adjusting my clutch cable there was a pop, and bingo, busted cable, BOOOO. I have had cables fail in the past, so this has me thinking a out hydraulic. Any one fab one out of off the shelf, relatively cheap parts? What did you use. A quick goggle shows lots of neat little slave cylinders. |

Someone just posted something similar to this.
Seems to me that you're inviting a ton of work going that route. You'd have to do some cutting and fabbing to get a master cylinder somewhere above the pedals, not to mention actuating it from your newly rebuilt cluster. Then run the line, and fab a mount for the slave cylinder. It's been done, but there is no plug and play solution. Seems like a lot of work to me for a small reward. But if you're into that sort of thing, it might be a cool project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) It's entirely possible your cable was weak before and now that the pedal assembly is doing it's job like it should, the weak link in the chain broke. I'd say purchase a new Terry cable and be done with it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) As much as I like to fabricate things, I enjoy driving more! |

Actually, I need to get under it and check the clutch tube. YEARS ago, my tube broke at the firewall. Since all I had access to was oxy acetylene, and I was afraid to braze or gas weld so near the fuel lines, I pulled the whole tube, brazed a plate about 3" square to it and then pop rivited it in. Its worked for years.
Yeah I know, not proper, but hey, sometimes you gotta improvise. |

I think Strawman (maybe) did a hydraulic off the stock clutch pedal. Anyway, the master cylinder was mounted on the center tunnel and controlled by the clevis hook. not exactly a bolt on but as close as it gets.
I made an entire pedal cluster custom for mine. I used the clutch tube to transport the hydraulic line to the rear. |
