Hydraulic Clutch Setup

January 21, 2007, 04:11:37 PM

I am currently in the process of putting a hydraulic clutch set up in my car and have come to a road block. I have purchased the pedals from a Turbo Coupe with the hydraulic clutch in it but my Chiltons manual dosent really have any good pictures of where the master cylinder mounts or what it mounts to. I am not sure if I am missing a bracket or what but I don't see where the master cylinder for the clutch mounts. I see the mounting point on the pedal where the rod connects too but not the other end. Does any one have any pictures that could show me how this all goes together. Maybe I am missing a bracket but Im not sure.

Thanks for the help

Andrew

The clutch MC mounts to a bracket that is part of the steering column firewall boot. "Normally" you need to swap that boot.

So there is another bracket I need that I am missing. Any pictures of what it looks like? Or better yet dimensions so I could make my own. Maybe someone has one their willing to part with?

Yes, it's integral to the metal frame of that boot.

In a related question, does anyone have information about volumes of liquid moved for various clutch master and slave cylinders? I'd like a fairly comprehensive resource, if it exists.

I'd like to know before buying parts what kind of fluid they are going to move with a normal pedal stroke.

TIA
