Hydraulic clutch master

[Jhn824]

Hey guys,
In the beginning stages of installing a hydraulic clutch master for a tremek tko in my 65 Belvedere...looks like this is more involved than I anticipated...looks like im going to have to cut out a section of inner fender etc...just to make sure im looking at this correctly...anyone been there done that?

The biggest problem is the original clutch rod has a bend in it. The hydraulic is straight. That means that you have a couple choices. Move the rod and master cylinder over about a inch or so which gets too close to the inner fender or change the attachment point on the clutch pedal itself to try and bring it over the hole for the clutch rod. That point also needs to be close to same height etc on the pedal arm so that the pedal effort and ratios work

Yes your right...it wouldnt be that big of a deal but it is already in paint. Thats an interesting idea about lowering the pedal attachment point.. do you know someone who has done it this way?

Trick is not to lower it, that changes the length of the stroke, but to try and keep the same point, just moved over. Will take a pic of mine and post it tomorrow afternoon
