What problems are there in fitting a hydraulic clutch ?.
Folk don't find the brake pedal too heavy with discs either just that they prefer a light pedal.
Are there 2 types of Ford type 9 box then or just 2 types of clutch mechanisms which fit the same box? i.e. if you get a type 9 box can you then choose between hydraulic or mechanical operation? How do you tell the difference if the boxes are different?
Type 9 and MT75 were cable op - It wasn't until about 2 years into Mondeo production that they went hydraulic clutch but this was on another box which I think was the MT75x

Compare the Minors - Simples !! http://mog.myfreeforum.org/index.php
A Minor (obviously) has no 'hydraulic' clutch - therefore to go that route involves installing a clutch master cylinder and connecting it to the pedal! Once that's done - it's easy to pipe up to whatever g/box your heart desires!

Not strictly true - will need redrilling to a different bolt pattern and (AFFAI can see) a new centre for the g box input shaft inserted, along with appropriate bush/bearing. All available ready to fit from specialists.

Well - that sounds like 'slightly modified' to me ! The 'new centre' is only required if using a Ford box - the discussion here was about simply swapping the 1275 engine onto a Minor box.
