new clutch master retro fit
well I had some time this weekend to work on my truck. As you know the 60-62 m/t used a hydraulic clutch. This is a good system but the clutch master is part of the brake master cylinder, a single circuit system.
This is a problem if you want to install a dual master (either for drums or disc brakes) I know some members have had questions on what to do for the clutch if you want to add a booster . Some have used the CPP or MP brakes set up but they are about 500.00 for there set up I bought this kit from MP brakes a while back, but you could get the Wilwood master from summit and fab up your own bracket and push rod 3/4 master 3'' 5/16 bolt,nut wahsers and a spacer the push rod it needed to be modified

Re: new clutch master retro fit
this is the oe cylinder and to the left of it are two bolts thats were the bracket will be mounted to
this is the bracket and here it is mounted up. Of course things hit a snag when the bottom bolt rounded off, thus the diffrent bolt scribe a mark round the bottom hole and remove the bracket

Re: new clutch master retro fit
one more pic of how the bracket mounts
drill a 5/8 hole , use a cemrt punch an drill a pilot hole to keep thimgs lined up and this is how it will look mounted up the 3/8 spacers go between the bracket and the master cylinder as you can see the hard line has been removed

Re: new clutch master retro fit
since I an doing this in stages the old master cylinder will stay in place untill I swap it out, so I used a threded 1/4 plug as seen in this picture taken from below
the old hard line is to short so I had to bend one up. I used an old trick my pops showed me, use a wire coat hanger to mock up were to bend the new line then use it as a guide

Re: new clutch master retro fit
Thanks capt.the hole was already there, I used a clevis pin and cotter pin , the only hole to drill was thru the fire wall.
One thing i forgot to mentioned was that I disconected the clutch pedal from the original clutch pushrod one bolt so it is easy to go "back to stock" if needed.

Re: new clutch master retro fit
Just checking up to see if this new clutch master is still working good for you Sal. Have you noticed any thing different as compared to the original clutch master....good or bad?

Re: new clutch master retro fit
So far so good!! I have had no problems with the shifting. The one thing I don't like is that even though the bracket is well made it "flex" a little. So to fix it I fabed up a bracket from one of the cylinder mounting bolts to the fender well easy fix
