Hydraulic clutch revisited

Thanks to Robert's and everyone elses contributions on the other post this is what I've come up with. The emergency brake cable has been relocated to the hole where the clutch rod used to go through to make master cyl mounting easier. More pics are on the way including the mods to the pedal arm etc.... The master cyl fits 95 Nissan Pathfinder $16, Slave cyl and banjo bolt 95 Nissan Altima $28 and $6 respectively, Front brake hose from a 95 200 SX left I believe since it's only about $8, shortest section of Jap metric 3/16 double flair brake line you can find, Axle bolt for lawn mower...


No new holes drilled or threaded in bell housing. Square hole fits over knob near bottom of starter. Second bolt can be used and hole is easily located by using fresh paint.


Back side of slave bracket.




The adapter block is made of mild steel and the rod is an 8mm 1.25 pitch. I will make a firewall stiffener that looks like an oversized gasket and has 5/16 bolts welded into it to make master cylinder installation easier. Pic in the works...



This is an alternative but the crossbolt size 8.02 mm may not handle the load adequately. Available at Midwest Controls... http://www.midwestcontrol.com/buy.php?item=227

The holes on the slave are opened up to 7/16 for use with common us wrench-bolt sizes and 3/8 flat washers fit snug and shim for final alignment.
