Hydraulic clutch conversions?
Does anyone on here have a hydraulic clutch conversion? I'm really struggling with the AP 6 paddle clutch in my car, and wondered will a hydraulic conversion solve the problem of the very heavy clutch pedal? The only kit I can find is the Reyland one, as it's 2wd it says I need the bellhousing mod as well so I'm looking at 450 in parts and then labour to fit it. Is there any other kits about and does anyone have an idea how long it would take to fit for a decent mechanic?

I'm just doing this now. It's easy on a 4x4. And needs a little welding or s plate made up for the t5
I got a master cylinder from burtons .700 gerling non integral one removed the rachet of the pedal and used the pin to go through a rose joint made a plate up to fit to the bulk head.
On the gear box I'm fitting a slave cylinder from a e30 bmw ther Cheep as on eBay but I spent a little extra to get a better quality one
It's only 3 8mm holes and a few nuts and bolts and I'm just looking at the clutch fork now
The piping is 7/16 unf feed to the master cylinder and 3/8 unf out the master cylinder is 10mm metric I'm ordering -3 hose and fittings tonight
I hope some of my rambling helps

Perfect
The only bits I need are the actual slave and master cylinder now.
I looked at the AP master cylinder but at £130 they can keep it.
Ill go for a girling one.
What slave cylinder did you go for if you don't mind me asking? As I can only find cheap and nasty ones.
Thanks!

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Think I used a landrover master cylinder and a mondeo 1.8 slave, whole lot cost less than £100, no need to pay stupid money

You should get the Slave that I posted today along with the weld on boss and the 2 bolts for the slave.

Does anyone know if the Land Rover series 2 master cylinder people use is compatible with the slave cylinder in the Reyland kit? It looks very similar.
