I'm going to use the Rjes bell end to fit a scooby turbo motor in a 71 bay so looking to convert to hydraulic clutch as a must. Any one got any pics or links of this done. I'm looking to use t25 bits. [/list]

Silly question on the subaru master!!!
Still looking for info on the hydraulic set up!

is this for a type 1 box or the the bigger type 2 units?

hydraulic clutch's have been done loads on the type one and doesnt rjes sell a bracket to convert the type 2 (091) box to hydraulic clutch?

Type 2 box but I'm more interested in the pedal end. Cheers.

Righto, you can't use the Subaru one id imagine as you would want to have a remote reservoir to fill it up.

I can't remember what size you would want at the minute. Either 0.700 or 0.750.

Hi

A lot cars use a Tee from the brake master cylinder supply line to supply the clutch master cylinder

No need for a separate reservoir and you will run out of clutch fluid before running out of brake fluid if you have a fault in the clutch hydraulics.

I would have thought mounting a clutch master cylinder would be pretty easy on a Type 2, I've only done it on Beetle

Hi I think this is the link to my Hydraulic clutch mounting system.

It starts at the bottom of the page. Very simple. I think Rich Baker is running a similar system.

I hope it helps. I used a MK3 Land Rover unit only because it matched the original diameter of the Mondeo system I am using and they are very cheap.
There are lots more variations of diameter on the land rover unit. I think mine was 0.75'' 19mm
