Converting To A Type 9 Gearbox To Hydraulic

[chris27]

Hi Guys

 

is there anyone out there who has converted a type 9 gearbox to hydraulic or has anyone looked into this?

 

I am thinking about doing it and wondered about where to source the bits from / cost etc.

 

any comments welcome

 

cheers

You can get a co-axial operating cylinder £75, release bearing £24, master cylinder £30 and some fixed and a flexi pipe say £10 from Burtons.

The sensible way is to get the master and slave cylinder off a suitable scrapper and have a play to see how to graft a slave cylinder onto the side of the bellhousing so that it works the existing clutch release arm. Now you know why you have that spare type 9 box sitting elegantly on the patio.
