Hydraulic clutch set up issue
hi all, i ditched my "z" bar when converted to 440ci, did a hydralic clutch using a suburoo unimpresseda master cyl and a southwest speed slave,seemed a good plan as could link the two with flexable hose following whatever route............unlike z bar..........initally i loved it as the z bar heavy but it used to weep and fade in and out then one day blew out leaving me to crawl home in first gear resulting in engine overheating oh thats another story:bootysha:.............anyhoo what i did was this, i sourced a clutch cable from a 70s vauxhall magnum<you could use whatever,i liked this as looked heavy duty>so get this, the ball end of the cable was mounted on a bracket just past the clutch pedal top on bulkhead .............the other threaded end to a bracket just past the clutch fork with the cable running through hole <in bracket> as had to extend clutch fork for leverage..............now when i press the clutch pedal the SLEEVE on cable moves, the inner cable that is achored both ends as a guide and my cable becomes a PUSHER! sounds mad but will list some piccys. gotta be more durable,and if it goes.......just fit your spare once you have decided on cable that works for you! :cheers: first pic=ali box section extended clutch fork,second and third="l"shape bracket attached to clutch pedal top..............
