Home made Hydraulic Clutch Setup

I got as far as planning this

Hydraulic clutch fundamentals

the idea for the s10 master cylinder came from this site a guy called Cageman did it back in 2008 on his t5 equipped valiant (look up cageman and s10) he insists its easy and it works

the idea for the BMW slave came from www.moparmarket.com back in 2004 a guy there did it on an australian A body with great success using the master cylinder from a simca/chrysler 1800 Austrlalian Valiant Centura to drive the BMW part on a bracket he made mounted on the ballstud mounting on the bell
you have to join to or re thread the end of the piston shaft for the clutch fork ball or washer

clutch adjuster hardend steel ball off a mopar truck idea came from mopar action


so my plan was based on evidence of success at both ends

I just stored away the ideas for later and never got round to it

it won't work straight off the bat, you are going to have to do some backyard engineering, very few people will just hand you a working idea, but pleanty will insist that the NEW thing they have made or purchased is just what you need when actually it might not be the case
given that fancy new KITs don't work half the time.......

if you don't want to do the engineering side of it, it might be easier to buy a kit

i am a strong beliver that after market kit is great for after market passtimes like racing where you are focused on the state of the car and its equipment every race.

but if you are going to dialy drive it or long distance drive it then may as well use something that has proved itself a million times and for 20 + years at someone elses expense. OEM gear off of cars that do not have a repuation for failures in this area. No after market gear has been tested to distruction by the general public who just need to get from A to B every day, do little or no maintenance, and then scrap their car becasue the dashboard ECU has packed up.
that kinda testing is reserved for after the car or equipment has been purchased. id rather somone else does that for me.
