Question for Ionia Rod Shop

Using Chassis Eng. x-member & clutch/brake pedal assy, fabed up bracket for hyd. clutch like streetrodder article,what slave cyl.should I use,small block chevy. Is there an o.e.m. one thats good to use, I have both a 3/4 &7/8 bore wilwood master cyl, or go with there slave? thanks

 

We used a wilwood slave part # 260-1304 3/4" bore with reservoir...I'm not sure if you can use a master cyl. We usually use a mechanical, that was the first time we did a hyd. set up.

Does your throwout fork push foward or backward? Both style slaves are available. Address all of these issues and it will work right out of the shute, start guessing and......
