Has anybody used Daze's hydraulic clutch set up? I ordered one and am currently installing it.I am have some question. Would anybody happen to have some detail pictures of this swap. If no then I will certainly be taking a few extra pictures to try and make a good write up for future people interested. I Wanted to know how the Offset Master Cylinder Pushrod goes I am thinking with the pivot on top (like a S just like on his page), but on which side does it also go, toward the brake pedal or towards the drivers door? Also do I need to make new holes for the clutch master cylinder? I know for the bolts yes, but for the actual rod. Does the firewall reinforcement for the MC go through the inside under the gauges? That is where I think would be better but I can't find any pics. Thanks, Raul

 

OK I just went out to work again after a little break, and things are looking good. I guess trying to do two things at once are not good. Dual master cylinder and hydraulic clutch. It looks like I will probably have a good write up, in the future. Now I gotta go buy some pliers to remove the locking ring from the clutch master cylinder.

 

Here is my write up with pictures for my set up on a 66.

Has some alternate sources for master and slave units. I did buy the Daze bracket and it was a perfect fit and well made. I would recommend the the Wilwood master as a good buy over the CNC and t comes with remote reservoir. I did not use the the offset bracket Daze designed but it looks like a good idea. I drilled a new hole in the pedal arm and did not have any issues with travel or hard to push.

Also removed the spring on the top of the clutch pedal and on the slave because they are not needed.
Cost was about 230 for everything

 

I did not have to disassemble the Master cylinder in order to fit it in place. The heim will thread on and slip into place.

I also used a 10 1/2 inch diaphragm clutch and had to adjust some pre-load on the throw out bearing so it was slightly on the pressure plate fingers.

 

wow..it all looks so familiarrrrr...

 

LOL you were the inspiration for me going with a hydraulic set up!
Still love your website JamesW and use it as a reference for my car.

 

I use Daze's setup and it works great. I found a reservoir at a local junk yard. That was really the only thing I had to hunt down.

has anyone used the offset pushrod heim joint that Daze sells?

 

I made a offset pushrod out of 6 nuts wleded together and it worked great. I also purchased a resevoir from a custom motorcycle shop that works awsome and is polished aluminum. It tucks right under the flang on the firewall that the export brace bolts to.

 

Thanks for the info, I actually was looking at James and Chris websites to guide me along. Before , during and after while I was working. I used the Wilwood master and Daze's t5 kit along with the braided hose that you guys listed. Since Daze's offset push rod was included it stated to remove the bolt from the master cylinder, there is a difference in thickness. After bolting up the master cylinder underneath the dash is pretty much strait forward everything lines up. The spring on the top of the clutch pedal is not needed when switching to hydraulic? Chris you mentioned something about the spring in the slave, that isn't needed after all? I saw you have one in you page and James doesn't have one installed.
Sorry for my ignorance but what exactly is a 10 1/2 inch diaphragm clutch. I swap the 90 5.0 and the t5 into mine using everything that was in the fox. It got dark so I didn't get to finish everything up hopefully this Sunday. Having to go to the store to buy this and that really takes up a lot of time. On the dual master cylinder swap for the brakes is the pushrod suppose to lock into something or just be pushed into place? Thanks Raul
