hydraulic clutch advice needed
Hello,
I'm building a Tiger with a T9 gearbox with a diecast bellhousing. It's working with a clutch cable. I'm afraid that the clutch
would be to heavy??
Is it possible to change to a hydraulic operated clutch?
If it's possible what do I need to make it work?
regards,
JP

Got a cable operated clutch in my Luego with a type 9 box , find it very light to operate . Not sure it's worth all the hassle to fit a
hydraulic operating system. Have you ever driven a Sierra? I must have driven hundredsand none had heavy clutchs

Change the ratio on the pedal and that will lighten the feel. Not worth the hassle if you are already set up.

I like the hydraulic setup, but as the others say, nothing wrong with a cable setup really.
Will comment that my XR4x4 has a very heavy clutch, so heavy in fact that it gets through a clutch cable every 6 months or so, snapping them in an
assortment of locations! Ford addressed this by fitting the "low-lift" clutch assembly, but I have fitted a heavy duty LUK jobbie after
blowing my original low lift one to pieces doing timed 0-60 runs with a car trailer on the back (yes stupid bets at the pub do cost money!!!!)
On my "locost" I have engineered a hydraulic setup using a Saab 900 concentric cyl on a home made adaptor, this gives a VERY smooth clutch
pedal.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
