Hydraulic Clutch Installation

Hey all,

I just received my amazing brake booster and hydraulic clutch kit from CaptainFab! Does anyone have pictures or instructions for installation or tips on how they did theirs?

I have it on my 62. With the Novak slave which we had to shave a bit off the bellhousing to mount it on.

Awesome! I also have the Novak slave cylinder. I am worried my exhaust collector is going to cook the dang thing, but I will try it!

And thanks for the pictures! Between this and what came with the kit, I should be good. I am just nervous to cut my pristine firewall haha.

Re: Hydraulic Clutch Installation

I am having a clearance issue between my clutch master cylinder and the two plugs that come out of the firewall for the front lights, alternator, etc. I cannot plug in the front turn signal harness due to the interference. Has anyone else had this? How did you resolve it?

Re: Hydraulic Clutch Installation

Here is how the Capt.Fab is on my 62.
Looks like a different master cyl.

Re: Hydraulic Clutch Installation

Yeah I also have the CapFab kit. I am guessing its a different master cylinder for the 66. Maybe I delete the factory grommet, move the plug into the cab and seal around the wires with a split grommet?

Re: Hydraulic Clutch Installation

That looks like the same master cylinder I have on my 62 - Willwood. I was able to turn the plug / grommet onto an angle where I could get the plugs to fit into the connector with the master in place. I had done some wiring and replaced the grommet - if yours is hard and crusty, you might try a little heat to get it to move. You can also loosen the master, plug in the connectors and then tighten up the master.

This worked! Thank you!
