Have you seen the hydraulic clutch thread in the MK forum? (It's on a Toyota though, not a Type 9)

As you say the willwood conversion is a tad expensive. I wonder could a cossie fork be modded to fit?
Thanks for the help chaps..

Apparently it can be done m8, but is a bit of a wee about.
From what I have been told, you need to use a V6 type 9 box, as it has a longer input shaft. A spacer then needs to be made to sit between the box and
the bell housing to make the difference in lengths up. The V6 box is needed to allow adequate space for the Mondeo/Focus slave/thrust bearing. Its
then a case of making adaptations to fix the slave into position.
If I can find any more details, I will post them up.

Dont just build it.....make it!

Ok so its probably not a real option at £200 + the master cyl. set up, but you can get a hydraulic release bearing that does away with the slave cyl.,
lever arm etc. Tilton make them I think.
