Hydraulic clutch

Been thinking more about Berniesvetts's idea of going to a hydraulic clutch setup rather than mechanical. The most tempting part is I have a 7" quartermaster at my disposal (a good starting point) anyone ever do this and where did you get the parts, ie. slave cyl, clutch master..

You will find that the master cylinder from an 85 one ton chevy truck fits your firewall perfectly along with the slave cylinder for the same truck. An 18 inch steel brake line and fittings make the install look very nice. I bought them all from NAPA. They will help you get the right fittings to adapt the brake line to the cylinders.

Do a search on T5 transmission swap and you will see it in there. Batman just post a way to retrieve old posts on anything.

I would agree, but most threads in archives no longer have any pics.

For most folks ... I don't think that clutch would be a good choice for a street car.

Also, not saying it can't be done ... but I've never seen a small multiplate clutch work worth a crap unless it used the special hydraulic throwout bearing combo ... NO clutch fork.
