63 CJ5 - my unemployment project

I just thought I'd show you one of the things I've been occupied with lately. I actually got it from my Dad back in about 2003 but I never took actual possession until recently. My great-grandmother bought it new back in 1978 or 1979. It's a 1979 Buick LeSabre Limited with a tiny 301 Pontiac V8, and all the options except for a leather interior (which I'm happy she didn't get). It spent most of its life in Mesa, Arizona and when she passed back in the late 90's, my Dad inherited it. I hit 69,000 miles about two weeks ago.

 

So how did you hook up the Hyd clutch to the cable ?



Thanks,
Jim

 

Rollbar: sorry for not posting sooner. I just removed the cable and mounted the clutch master cylinder to a bracket outside the framerail. The bracket looks pretty easy to make although the master came with it (it had been mounted on another Jeep when I bought it). Then I drilled a hole in the pedal arm and tapped it and threaded a rod the diameter of the pushrod hole.


It's still set up that way, but I recently got a pedal assembly out of a Cherokee that I'll probably use, so this will end up getting removed more than likely.
