Default hydraulic clutch conversions 4x4 cos

im looking into one of these kits now the cars all stripped and heard that these are ideal if using a alcon 6 paddle

has anyone fitted one of these kits yet and was it hard to do

looking at the pic off the reyland site just looks like a plate that bolts onto the bulkhead and the cylinder bolts onto this

do ei have to alter the main brake pipes from the abs for this to fit what mods to gearbox do i have to do

also what about the peddle as normally a clutch cable pulls and this pushes, this is why im asking about brake pipe mods etc, as surely the cylinde would need to go lower and somewhere near centre of the peddle or unde rthe pivot point of the pedal so it pushes

i would pay to have it fitted but the car isnt mobile so will have to do it myself

any advice on this thanks

I think Martin Hadland (Reyland) does this conversion, go and see him he is not far from you.

If you're buying the kit off him, then surely he can give you a guide to fitting?

well ive been trying to get hold of him oday but no joy

im painting the engine bay nxt week but if i have to cut and weld the bulkhead for this id rather get some cash together buy the kit then paint the bay once its all fitted

not to bothered about gearbox side as i will more than likely get someone to do that side its more bulkhead side
