Clutch Conversion

I have a 79 F-150 4x4 with a manual transmission. Have any of converted your clutch to a hydraulic setup? If so, where did you get the kit from.

Thanks,

Steven Y.

I am using the Dodge setup on my project but you should be able to do about the same (maybe easier) with the Ford setup.

What I did was to weld and brace a piece of 3/16" plate about 5x8" to the left side of the brake/clutch/steering mount. The plate is flat against the firewall and has a hole where the clutch master bolts to.

The location of the hole MUST be the same distance down from the pivot axis as what it came off of.

The clutch master is not directly in front of the clutch pedal. I am using a portion of a brake pedal that will be welded to the clutch pedal to make the offset work.
