Default 2wd hydraulic clutch conversion?

Does anyone have a how to for this?
I seem to remember people saying it can be done quite cheap using off the shelf parts.
I've done a search but it's not working properly on my phone!
Thanks!

Send your bellhousing to Reyland and get a kit from them, that way any probs with the install is easily sorted with a phone call to any of the helpful staff there, this is what I did and still get my spare parts for it from them.

If I had £400 to spare I would, but unfortunately I haven't, was wondering if there was a cheap way.
Broke the cable today and wondered if I could do a hydro conversion instead of replacing it.
Thanks for the reply Steve!

There's no easy way with out the hard work being done first either fit an external slave which requires the mounting braket welding on or fitting a centrifugal slave from a Mondeo or similar but that needs the box out and lining up the slave, I was going to use a mini copper(BMW) slave and master as you can run a feed from the brake reservoir, but there are a few options now days

I'm going to do mine but straying towards a rayland kit now as it's tried and tested!
The only thing that worries me with doing it my self is what stroke master and slave do you use? If you use one that pushes to far on the clutch cover you can damage it also could give a funny clutch bite hight if wrong bits used

I'm hoping to modify an adjustable pivot pin to adapt for the over throw of the slave, but you should be alright being around hydrolics a lot doing daf aid

Ha ha I'm fine with hydraulics mate what ever kit I buy will be as easy as pumping a tyre up compared to fitting a slave on an xf95 in the dark and wet and then bleeding the cunt up lol

Lol I know your pain I get the odd shit now and again, I've got a draw full of different slaves trying to find the best, so far I find the best are the centrifugal slaves from a Mondeo but don't want the be dealing with it if it fails and have to pull the box back out

I'd stay well away from one in side the box! I had my sills done at Whitspeed last year and they had a green wide arch yb'd mk2 in there that was on its 5th centre push slave lol there just not made for big heavy clutches!
I'd be happy using a bmw master and landrover slave if I new what stroke slave to use! But with having to mod the pedal box as well I think fuck it just get a rayland kit it's all there
