Hydraulic Clutch

Looking for some advice re Hydraulic clutch conversions to Pinto / Typ9 box.

Has anyone out there done this? What's the best way?

I was thinking of fitting a Wilwood pull type slave cylinder in place of the cable.

I read on somewhere that Dredd was trying to do this?

I also believe that the rally boys sometimes use a clutch conversion kit from

PeFab (I think) which uses a standard type cylinder. The problem here is that

the bellhousing needs removed to be drilled.

Can anybody help

 

Many thanks

These are concentric hydraulic bearings.

They are a good solution and are available for type9 boxes.

However they are quite expensive & you need the box out to fit them.

 

I'm looking for a simple hydraulic alternative to my cable.

Someone out there must have had a go an hydraulic slave cylinder conversion?

 

thanks

I was talking to Richard Hall yesterday (when I was trying to find out which clutch cable my Superspec uses - it broke after 650 miles!) and he suggested swapping to a hydraulic clutch. Apparently someone on here called Rob West has done it and I think Dredd did it a couple of months ago.

 

That said the AA fitted me a replacement "Temporary" cable and it feels loads better than the one I had originally!!

 

I'm investigating the hydraulic route too as a result of my experience yesterday.
