Re: help with clutch cylinder

I put a hydraulic clutch on mine but, used it and the entire pedal setup from a mid 80s Chevy truck.

Re: help with clutch cylinder

It would be difficult to do. You need a bell from a 60-62 that has a shift fork on the right side and the mount pad for the slave cylinder. The pedal and clutch master cylinder is the problem. I don't know how you would hang it and make it work.

Re: help with clutch cylinder

Would it be possible to use a 64ish C10 brake master cylinder as a clutch master?

Re: help with clutch cylinder

are you wanting a hyd throwout bearing (like modern transmissions) or a hyd slave cylinder for the mechanical throwout (like early 60's chevs)?

Re: help with clutch cylinder

It can be done but you are probably going to have to put the clutch master cylinder behind and to the right of the brake master cylinder and use a longer push rod. You will have to build a reinforced bracket to hold it too. You could build a bracket for the slave cylinder on the left side but it would be simpler to use the early 60's bellhousing and slave cylinder unless you are a pretty crafty fabricator.
Clutch slave cylinders should be readily available http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/se...961&vi=1325348
There is something that is pretty common that uses a single clutch master cylinder that could be adapted but off the top of my head I can't remember what.

Re: help with clutch cylinder

easy if you stick the clutch master cylinder on the firewall ,,but would be cool to have it hidden under the frame ,,you can use any gm bellhousing they make slave cylinders to bolt up to the old style and the newer aluminum ones ,,best place for that stuff i google for stock car racing or round about cars they have all the fabricated and mounting brackets and adapters for good prices
