I am also intrigued on this hydraulic clutch mod, I wanna do the same to mine, but im not 100% sure how to do it.
I saw on earlier pics of what appears to be some hydraulic fitting at the back of the clutch bearing on the drive shaft. Is this part of the mod as well?
Awsome job on the restoration so far. Looks flippen brilliant. Keep on going.

i used this one from burtons,im not 100% sure its the correct one to use but at least i can go up or down on the bore size if i need to,wont find out untill its all back together.

yes the centre push bearing in the gearbox is part of the mod too.
if you want to do a hydraulic conversion on your car you could buy a similar kit from martin at reyland.

cheers mate, ill look into it, also how did you know where to go through the bulk head?
i found reyland thoroughly rude to talk to when i rang him about this conversion, he'd sell just the parts i need which is basically the master cylinder and a rose joint to connect it to pedal and wanted Ł160!!!

i know it needs some fibres trimmed around the edges but this will done before its glued to the car.
i re-fitted the abs block and brake master cylinder to check to make sure the brake lines are going to clear the clutch master cylinder,which they did after bending slightly.brake lines now ready for powdercoat.
