RE: Hydraulic clutch VS Cable clutch
I am with you, I hate hyd clutches, I have never even been happy with the OEM hyd. clutches, I guess it could be that I have just had bad luck with a good product?
I am going with the Mustang Steve's setup as well. |
RE: Hydraulic clutch VS Cable clutch
My hydraulic clutch made it through a fire that killed everything under my hood and got behind the firewall into my wiring and interior. The only thing I had to replace was the resivor (spell check) that I got outa the junk yard for a dollar.

RE: Hydraulic clutch VS Cable clutch
I have a hydraulic clutch and a power brake system on my 68 and both work great. I have the JME setup and used a power brake booster from a fox v8 stang. Minor modifications to the firewall but you would never know. You can have the best of both worlds, it just takes a little moreeffort. :D

RE: Hydraulic clutch VS Cable clutch
You can have a juice clutch with 67 + cars. It's just the 1st gen cars that have the booster interference issue.

RE: Hydraulic clutch VS Cable clutch
ORIGINAL: royal68 i've heard about the cable clearancew/ headers issue from a few mustang guys too bad to hear that the hydraulic clutch wont' work w/ power brakes - I know I had to make a custom upper rod to connect to the Zbar and put a bend in it to get around the brake booster when i put the pwr/disc brakes in. Was planning on eventually going w/ the hydraulic clutch. to the custom fab guys - would there be a way to put the master cylinder in the car , perhaps mounted backwards on the firewall where the rod would go through, and have the rod connect to the pedal w/ a " U " shaped rod - going forward toward the driver and then connect to the driver's side of the pedal (just reverse everything and put the working parts inside, w/ the master cylinder next to the clutch pedal). I have no idea if the space would even be there to try it... was just thinking about ways around this. mikethebike - is the 56 setup your talking about the pwr brake system that works off the power steering pump (fluid based power-assist instead of vacuum pressure assist) ? |

RE: Hydraulic clutch VS Cable clutch
has anyone ever tried making their own hydralic clutch instead of spending alotof money on one i off road race and build my own cars and we doall the master cylinders and slave cylinders ourselves
and you could use a pedal like thishttp://cncbrakes.com/images/262.jpginsteadof the stock oneand then you wont need to worry about the brake booster being in the way of the MS |
RE: Hydraulic clutch VS Cable clutch
It shouldn't be any harder or easier than making one for an off road application. I say if you think you can do it hten go for it!
