915 clutch activation
I have read the archives and if anything am still confused on how to deal with the 915 clutch release problem.
I already have a Suby/915 KEP adapter and 911 clutch. Hydraulic or mechanical? Is there a shopping list of parts to do this, or better yet a kit? |

If you have "push" type clutch fork you can use the cable on a rear engine set-up. If you have a late model "pull" type 915, you can't use the cable without major mods to exit location of tube out of tunnel, or longer cable. If this is a mid engine set-up you might be able to use the late model with stock cable.
I'm going the hydaulic route with a aircooled.net set-up that replaces the stock cable system. This will prove to be easier than cable for me.

I am leaning to hydraulic as it looks easier but I am still not clear on if this is a simple mod.
I read in the archives somewhere that lever arm ratio needs to be modified to get sufficent stroke, arms flipped, etc. Is there a definitive method statement on how to hydraulic the 915 clutch? |

Nope, and believe me I've looked everywhere. Not even bugat5speed got the conversion covered for a type 4 engine. If you have a suboeroe thingy engine beheind the 915, then yes I believe so as they have experience with that.

Martin Bott tells me that he can do the clutch activation but uses a host of different parts. I have however bought his 915 mounting kit.
As I already have the KEP kit and 911 clutch I would like to use what I have. If no canned solution, is there a method statement on how to do it using the Saco/Aircooled.net hydraulic kit? |

I am maybe 2 months away from doing this.
The current need is to buy the parts by the end of July while I am here in Canada and carry them back to Thailand. |

I would go ahead and get the conversion kit from aircooled. That takes alot of guess work out of parts searching, and it bolts to stock pedal assy (with access hole cut on passenger side of tunnel). The hard part will be finding a good spot to mount slave cylinder (which is not that hard), and mounting brackets. In two months I better be working on mine...

Hi tomac
I did what Sandeep said and blew them up. I'm fitting a G50 and I already have a Saab hydraulic slave cylinder and throughout race, but I've been thinking about using the G50 lever and reversing it and using a Beetle through out bearing. I'm using a 200 mm Beetle clutch. Steve

Hi
I blew it up alright, all over my computer screen, what a mess, but no cost to fix. Steve
