Hydraulic clutch conversion

I will get you a PIC tomorrow. It was around an inch or less down from the spring hole that was there already.

 

The master is angled which is another reason I went with it, for the ease of mounting. The threads were SAE. And the flex hose had several adapters with the kit if needed. The hole I drilled in the firewall was 1 1/4.

 

OK I got some pictures from the clutch pedal. Because it had a fork that fit over the pedal itself I used a clevis type bolt with washers on both sides and secured it with a cotter pin. This one is a bit long but it is what I had at the time. It clears everything so....

Did you have to make a pedal stop or does it stop at the floorboard when you press it in ?Is your slave cylinder anchor bracket fitted with a helm joint or washered for movement?So many questions because I want to do this conversion soon on my 70.Thanks

 

trickpatrick,I looked at my clutch pedal again and did find an existing hole.It seems kind of high up on the pedal though...would you mind measuring yours so that I can compare to the location on mine?Mine is drilled about 1 1/2" below the part of the pedal casting that becomes the hole for the pivot point ( if that makes any sense).It will be interesting to also know how it compares to eddyt installation.And what did you do for a pedal stop?Does it just bottom out on the floor or did you fabricate some kind of a stop?Lots of questions because I figure why try to re-invent a system that others have created sucessfully.This conversion will be ideal for my 70 Commando because the PO had "bubba-fabbed" a clutch release contraption that I can hardly wait to get rid of.Thanks Oz.

 

OZ my second hole is just above the return stop for the clutch pedal as in the pictures. I used the existing hole for the spring return which is what I think it was for. I did not put a pedal stop in for the clutch as it worked OK without it. The L-Bracket I used was around 8 inches on the long side and 3 inches on the short side. And my clutch set up was also Bubba modified when I got it, that is why I went Hydraulic.

 

Thanks for the info.This sure looks like the way to go versus cables , rods and levers,or chain type setups.

 

This is the Second jeep I have converted. I have 1 more to do. This is just so much of a better set up than cables.

 

In the top 3 best mods I have made.

 

Looks great. Mine is an S10 master, it's slanted as well. My slave is a push, not a pull. Your Jeepster is in great shape!
