Hydraulic clutch revisited
Here are some new pics of the Jeep parts and a hose I had made. You can have a hose made that will reach all the way but I wanted to eliminate the possiblity of a spongy feel from a long section (32") of hose.
The Cherokee master has the side to side mounting flange and I believe the Scrambler master has the top to bottom style. The Cherokee unit has a different style slave flange than what I used here which is the Scrambler unit that by the way is only $20.00
The mounting detail of the slave unit. I did grind for header clearance on the bottom of the barrel end and for mounting bracket clearance on the inner bolt hole ear. The adjustable actuator rod is just a piece of 3/8 all thread with one end rounded and polished. If you have a really stout pressure plate a grade 8 bolt may be substituted. I also borrowed the adjustable plunger rod from the Nissan unit to expedite the installation.
The master cylinder mounted. Much easier to run the steel line with the new outlet location.
The jeep slave installed. The alignment is not perfect but it functions perfectly. There is a trade off on push rod alignment and bleeder clearance on the starter. If using a later model starter you can roll the slave position in a bit more and have a straight shot on the fork.
Notice the addition of gussets on the bottom of the bracket. While bleeding the system I noticed the bracket was flexing a bit so off it received a trip to the welder.
The jeep units do the trick and have the travel you need.
