Sorry for dragging an old thread up, but it is a really good old thread.

I have a 1.6 Fiesta SI, just wondering and basically wanting to confirm what's in my head, that this should be pretty much exactly the same for my Fiesta?

I have a Mondeo master cylinder mod with a factory closed off clutch feed on the reservoir, so this should provide additional fluid correct?

And was that bracket for the slave cylinder made out of the support bracket between a steering rack and servo mount?

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Yes mate I think that was the support bracket I used and if your reservoir has a clutch feed then yeah should be fine I would think.

TomPengelly

I am starting this conversion today. I have removed my clutch pedal (finally!) but it's totally different shape to your one. Mines got a bracket with a captive nut welded inside it. I think il have to get a pedal the same as yours as this will be in the way of the rod

Hi What diameter is the cutting wheel i need for the hole in the bulkhead? cheers..

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Replied to your PM mate.
I used the biggest one I had and then a die grinder to open it out the rest of the way.

Pete frst

Okay cheers mate,im starting it this week,i hope your's is holding up well....

Where did you buy this fitting which connects pedal to MC from mate? Any part numbers etc? Cheers

DanFraser

I'd like to add to this further. As this already involves making a bigger hole in the bulkhead I looked into possible options on the pedal end of things. Mondeo MK1 pedal boxes use exactly the same pedal shaft and the master cylinder goes through a hole in roughly the same place as the cable hole in the fiesta, so should be pretty much the same in the escort too.

All I have to do is create the proper hole and then because I have 'zetec yo' I can use a gearbox off a mondeo directly fitted for the actual bona fide hydraulic clutch.

TomPengelly

Dennis- i got mine from ebay. Just search for clevis pin with whatever thread you need. Mine is M8

Dennis I bought mine from the same place I did the MC mate, can't remember where that was now though?! lol

Thanks Karlos, managed to sort it. Arrived this morning from Rally Design. The part number if anyone's interested was G1312, size 5/16. Fits spot on with the mk4 pedal quadrant pin.

can you get a flexible braided pipe from mc to sc, instead of havin a rigid copper pipe?

anglia105e hinson

Yeah look on OPD website for the cheap braided line

also anyone got any pics of the wilwood slave cylinder fitted to bc gearbox, dont think i can fit the prelude 1 like karlos did the 1st time because im still on mfi and room between clutch fork and metering unit is limited im thinking

basty

Would this mod work on LHD cars ?

cheers!

kidsRS

iTrader: (6)

Dont see why not

studabear

A good question, my first thought would be that your servo could be in the way of where you would want to mount the clutch master cylinder, anybody got a lhd under bonnet picture?

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Also my first thought Stu!

muz

So has anyone had any problems with these set ups yet? Such as failing MC's etc?

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Willwood ones fail (x3) yes, Girling are the ones to use.

muz

Mines an OEM Land Rover one so it should be okay. I might finish mine off tomoz if I can't finish the fusebox.

crazycage

ive had loads of them fail , willwood and compbrake but never a girling one . there about £50-60 compared to the otheres @ £15-20 but they work perfect

HaggisTurbo

Can this be fitted with the engine in gearbox in situ or will I need to haul it out to do the master cylinder fitting?

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

I've not done it with the engine in, I imagine if it is possible it's not easy! lol

malescort

What Girling one did you opt for Karlos, and is that still behaving itself...?
