Hydro Clutch

I've got one on my 69. It worked good with my stock engine and clutch.

I've just spent the winter tearing down and installing a 1915 with a 1700lb clutch. I haven't got it running yet but I think it will work fine.

During the tear down I replaced the plastic tube that runs from the Master cyclendar to the slave cyclendar with a metal brake line (in the tunnel). I then atached a short section of -4an braided line from the master to the tube. This helps when you have to remove the master for some reason. You can pull the master out of the tunnel and then disconnect it.
Then I put another small piece of -4an braided line from the end of the metal line where it protrudes from the pan to the slave cycendar at the tranny. I also added a slave saver bracket to the trans for the slave to mount to. I got all this stuff from German Auto.

I made my kit with a tilton master cylinder and CNC pull cylinder.

I install the master cylinder next to the brake cylinder, I weld a 3/16 plate to bolt the master cylinder and adapt to the pedal with a weld base. and work great with a 1700 lbs clutch.
