KEISLER blazes again
Now, I will be the first to admit that it is a mad house at Keisler. Order a transmission for your vette and you might receive a radiator for a '55 Chevy. 
just kidding!! Keisler Engineering goes for the fences and sometimes hits nothing but air. When they connect though, WATCH OUT! They throw nothing but haybailers, bombs and take nothing but home run swings. Their latest is the complete hydraulic clutch kit and it is a wonderful piece for any C3 owner to have. I finally received my master cylinder and notification from Keisler that they are now manufacturing masters "in house". Anybody who wants a much nicer clutch feel should contact them immediately. This time they hit another home run! Good job Keisler Mantle! SWISHHHHHHH.........SMACK! It's going.................it's going....................

OK critics, since you have all the answers, who else makes a bolt on hydraulic clutch conversion kit? I believe only Keisler does, blazing yet another trail. Besides, Twin Turbo, you never did come through on the lower control arms despite your beckoning fans. The echos of "go Twin Turbo, go!!" have all but faded away.

Huh 
Of all the mods on my wish list, "hydraulic clutch kit" never even made honorable mention. No plans for my wife to be drivin Project RamJet in the foreseeable future

Those rose jointed rods that Speed Direct sell smooth out my clutch beautifully and I'll bet at a fraction of the cost, not to mention fitting time! Oh I just did!! 
Mind you if you have titanium brakes, a hydaulic clutch kit could be something you would want? No perhaps not, too much weight in the fluid!!

Graemeinvette, in actuality the hydraulic clutch kit weighs less than the mechanical junk that it replaces. The speed direct rods are not going to make your clutch as smooth as a hydraulic clutch, either. Everybody can choose as they wish with their vettes. I only own mine and I was just trying to help out some other owners by informing them of a product which vastly improves the driving pleasure of corvettes. I changed over to a hydraulic clutch and it is world's better. I hope my overzealous spending does not offend anybody in the process. God bless Keisler!

Another alternative is to talk with Norval here on the forum about his hydraulic setup. He can tell you how to do it easy. Save funds by doing it yourself and the big plus is that if something should happen then parts are available at any auto parts store. This might not be a big deal if you are home but if you are out on the road it is a complete new set of problems.
I tend to like the mechanical clutch mechanism as it is very reliable and easy to maintain. The speedway system also makes it much smoother of an operation and gives you more adjustability.
Keisler may have a good product and may be the way to go for some people.
