Technical 53 Merc in a 33 Coupe Trans question

So I found my dream forever ever car a 1933 5 window. Been looking for years only to find one less than .5 miles away from my house. Last plated in 1966 been in storage ever since. WOW what a find. The coupe didn't have a motor or trans but I have a 53 Merc a T5 and 40 pedals.

Now for the question.

HOW DOES THE PEDALS HOOK UP TO THE THROW OUT ARM?
Pictures would be great.

 

What bellhousing are you using with the T5? There are different kinds available. Ford-style arms rotating a shaft like pre 39, or an idler shaft like 40 and up, or a late bellhousing like a 53 Ford with a side-push arm, or a Chevy style arm in your Offy bellhousing.

 

I haven't
picked out the bell housing and may go with a hydraulic clutch

 

cat skinnin' choices...

 

I suggest you ask the guys who have RnR'ed their hydraulic throwouts how fun it was.

 

do not go hydraulic. Go with a set up that uses the clutch shaft and rotating fork, 39 pedals and a 39 lever on the clutch shaft. way easy to hook up and is very light with smooth action/engagement. Hydraulic clutches are problem some. If you hace to go with a hydraulic, use and external slave cylinder, not a hydraulic throw out bearing.

@krylon32 is on the HAMB as well.

 

Anybody got a set of pedals? I got a set of 40 and a set of F1

 

I have a flatty to S10 trans, used a plain ol standard master cyl and lined it over to a slave from Krylon/Cornhusker.....works great, and a LOT easier than dealing with rods and bellcranks imo.

 

any pictures on how to mount ? do you know what stroke you need to disengage the clutch?
