Anyone running a hydraulic clutch with their 833?
The below is grabbed from my restoration thread but I wanted to post it here for more responses.
I have recently installed a hydraulic clutch setup in my 73 swinger. I used an AFCO 3/4" master cylinder and a CNC 7/8" slave cylinder from Speedway motors. I followed most of the directions in this forum to mount it up as follows:
I used a hole drilled in the clutch pedal (the spot located where the clutch pedal arm and the linkage arm connect with four spot welds) and used a stud to connect to a heim joint connected to the threaded input shaft of the clutch master cylinder (3/4" unit with a 1.4oz reservoir). This feeds a hard line with a flex-bend in it to the slave cylinder (7/8" unit) connected to the clutch fork. I grabbed the clutch fork where there is a slot cast into it from the factory (allowing a small amount of adjustability). Based on my measurements, I currently have 0.5" of movement on the clutch fork where it mounts to the slave, which is based on about 0.7" of horizontal movement at the pedal (all the way to the floor). It appears I will need about another 0.7" of movement from the pedal swing in order to modulate the slave cylinder the total 1" allowed, which will require doubling the distance betwene the pivot point and the mounting point on the pedal.
I wanted to type this out to see if anybody else had run into this issue yet and how they might have resolved it. Any and all responses are welcome. Thanks.
