Malwood underdash hydraulic kit for A-Bodies
Having mounted the clutch MC on the firewall of my own car, there’s less room than you think. The firewall is not flat for a large area, there’s the indent for the brake MC, a stiffening rib, the emergency brake cable, etc all in that area. Plus you need to make a bracket to hold the clutch MC back there to go straight through.
Here’s where you have space to put it
Here’s the bracket so it mounts flat and toes into the pedal box…
And here’s all the space you get on the other side
Easy right?
For the other style, the factory push rod goes down at a steep angle, and mounted in that location the clutch MC rapidly runs out of real estate. That’s what the other hydraulic clutch kits do, but they’re also limited to a couple of different MC’s that are short enough.
Here’s the American Powertrain unit, you can see with a 90° on the line this will be very tight
And here’s one a member here designed. Better than the AP one but still tight.

It ain’t as easy as it seems when you start doing it.
