440 4speed hydraulic clutch

I did a slave mount like sweaty betty on my Dart . It has 2" fenderwell headers
so I didnt want the master on the firewall because of the heat and I did not
want to mount the master at a down ward angle. what I did was mount the
master to the inner frame rail directly across from the transmission.I shortened
my old z bar to the width of the frame rail, filled the tube with a full length
nylon bushing and used a long bolt supported by brackets welded to the
inside and outside of the frame rail. I welded a lever to the z bar tube on the
inside which operates a push rod to the master. Kind of Rube Goldberg but it
works good.

Just curious why you went with a hydraulic clutch. Was it for an easier pedal? I thought most of the people here using a hydraulic clutch are doing it because of clearance issues with the standard clutch linkage & under chassis headers (I may be wrong:-D). I know that with my fenderwell headers I have no clearance problems with a mechanical clutch linkage & 10 1/2" clutch, but I would love to patch the holes in my fenderwells & run an under chassis headers. It's just that the headers for the early A are really expensive & don't like to fit with a 10 1/2" clutch.
