hydraulic clutch ?
Just saw jollygreengiant posting about him fitting his and its sparked curiosity!
What’s the benefit of fitting a hydraulic clutch? Is there much cost to buying one? And is the conversion relatively easy to do if you wanted to
install one further down the line?
Cheers,
Nath

I asked the very same question a while back...

I like the idea of fitting one, but with the car fully built and on the road with a cabled clutch that works well I can't be arsed though.

I got a concentric system from Burtons on a Vixen. 'spensive, but damned good.
about 200 quid or so for the parts.
you need the hydraulic nose, a release bearing, a braided line kit, and an adaptor and a gasket.
Take the old nose off the input shaft, and replace with the hydraulic one and adaptor.
Ed.
P.S. Oh yeah, you'd need the appropriate master cyl too!

Made a plastic ( from the remnants of the instrument binnacle ) plate ( bolt on ) for the supply hose to go through and carefully drilled a 16 mm hole
in the top of the bell housing for the bleed hose to go through. Job Done.
Oh yes. Burtons, just under £200.
