Hydraulic Clutch for V6

    Happy 4th of July to all. I have been searching past threads for info about hydraulic clutch linkage for the 225 V6 linked to a SM 420 transmission. I have seen info about Novak's HSR-3 kit for GM bellhousings. Novak states that it won't work with the BOP bell housing but old threads say some of you have made it work.
    Will this bracket work on the Buick bell straight out of the box or what mods are needed to make it work? Is there a better solution? I have seen some pull type slave cylinders used. Are these a better setup? I am looking for the simplest solution for my CJ6. I should mention that I am routing my exhaust inside the frame rail in case clearance is an issue.

    Most of the guys on here have used Wilwood products and fabbed there own brackets.

    Thanks Rick,

    That bracket appears simple enough.

    Do your jeeps have firewall mounted pedals? Is this much harder with the frame mount pedals?

    I know AA sells a hydraulic cylinder with bracket for our Jeeps. I have it on mine.

    I have a hanging pedal set up from a newer CJ going into this jeep. I know I will have to modify the clutch pedal for the hydraulic master cylinder.

    Novak Adapters also sells a whole kit for this too...

    I used the Novak kit on my BOP, but I bought my kit 5 years ago. I did make an extra bracket to stiffen the slave mount.
