If you go this route you get to ditch the Z Bar and the rest of the clutch linkage correct?

 

[hotrodram]

That is correct

wouldn't it be easier to use a hydraulic thrust bearing?

Brewers kits come as supplied by wilwood

PLEASE let us know how it works on the street .. How much start to finish ... and how much HP you have on this setup

 

[hotrodram]

Will keep y'all posted! Never found any pics of this setup which is why I posted. Made 1/8 in plate bung for firewall so cylinder mounts to it. Used heim joint on cylinder rod to run to clutch pedal approximately 2 in below swivel and removed over center spring

Hey, I was wondering how the pedal feels. Is it super easy and engages quickly? Or can you still tell you are pushing the pedal? I like the clutch to engage twords the bottom, some hyd slave cars I have had were up twords the top. Was contimplating it on my notch, mostly for clearance issues. But I really like the heavy pedal. RB with TTI

You deffinatly feel difference between linkage and hydraulic however not super easy like some newer cars. Pressure seems most about mid pedal...engages throwout bearing about 3/4 clutch. I really like the feel of it

 

[hotrodram]

But will really make nice difference with no linkage to maneuver around

are you concerned with that exhaust running directly underneath the cylinder and cooking the fluid? any preventive measures to keep that from happening?
