Default cossie hydraulic clutch conversion details.

Hi All

Im looking at going hydraulic clutch on my 4wd cossie Mt75.

Unfortunately due to the tight engine bay i have, its impossible to fit the standard kit with a cylinder on the engine bulkhead as there is insufficient clearance to the downpipe.

the solution could be a custom pedal box with cylinder behind dash etc, however its complicated and expensive and hence im thinking a simpler option.....

my pedal box is based on puma, and as such will accept the standard late ford hydraulic slave cylinder which mounts INSIDE the car with only the pipes protuding into the engine bay.

Now obviously the ford designed set up is engineered to work with a centre push hydraulic release bearing.

Does anyone know if such a centre push bearing exists for an MT75 and where i would get it from??

also what volume of fluid do i need to move?? Obviously on the ford set up im stuck with the standard volume so if i cant find a suitable centre release bearing, then id need a standard cylinder matched to the volume my pedal can move.

Anyone tried similar??
