As the title suggests i am looking at doing hydro clutch set up in our Baja Bay as the wife is having trouble with the heavy pedal of the cable jobie .
The box end/ slave is no drama's as have seen this many times on buggies etc but wwhat have you seen or done with the master cylinder please .
Any help happily accepted

Thanks Andrew

It would be quite easy to use the standard T3 Hydraulic Master cylinder & slave cylinder

All you need to do is make a bracket for the master cylinder to hook up to where the cable was previously

On second thoughts, the slave cylinder may not clear the bodywork..... How much room near the top of the bellhousing do you have?

Here's the T3 bellhousing and slave cylinder..... but I dont think you'll have room for it....I guess you'll have to use a CNC slave cylinder, but you should still be able to use theT3 Master cylinder as it uses seperate reservoir

A simple set up like the formula Vees run using a generic PBR slave cylinder. Pretty small and compact.

kombi clutches are not that hard to press though. i would check the cable perhaps it is binding up somewhere? this may solve your problem
