[FC] Hydraulic Clutch for FC?

Tue May 25 11:11:01 2004

I have a hydraulic clutch on my Corvair dune buggy.  The cylinder for
actuating the clutch arm is available at any dune buggy shop or Jegs,
Summitt or any other racing parts supplier.  You just cut off the end of the
rod, thread or weld on the adapter that comes with the cylinder.  The
cylinder mounts nicely in a hole drilled in your transmission crossmember.
I have a full dune buggy pedal assembly on mine but the trick is to mount a
cylinder actuated by your clutch pedal on your FC.  Since I sold my FC, I
don't have anything to look at but it will require considerable fabricating
and Rube Goldberg adapting to make it work.  Once mounted, it works perfect
and will eliminate all the stretching cable problems.  The steel tubing can
be mounted anywhere you have access and the cylinder doesn't care!  The
trick is to convert your "pull a cable" clutch pedal arm to a "push a
cylinder" unit.  No kits available that I know of.

Does anyone have any detailed information on how to convert an FC to a
hydraulic clutch?
