Hydraulic Clutch Mod (Help)

Post by RussLCV »

Good evening all

Can anyone assist please with the instructions for fitting the Hydraulic Clutch kit, I have a kit but have misplaced the instructions, I have downloaded the PDF version on-line but its not a lot of use for the template used to cut the holes out for the mounting of the cylinder into gearbox cross-member. Sadly the PDF is not the same size as per the original? Can anyone help with a photo copy of the exact size of tell the size and I can scale up the PDF instructions on line?

Thanks in advance

I cannot help you with the instructions but I can post two photos of the hydraulic clutch master cylinder mounting on the gearbox cross member so as to give you some idea of the set up.

As you can see I did reinforce the rear face of the cross member to give it a bit more strength.

Mine is a LCV crossmember stronger, but needed to see how much to cut out of the opening?

Stronger LCV cross member - what makes it stronger?
I have the following part numbers for the LCV and Car rear engine cross member:-
AAA3776..................LCV.
AAA4849..................Car.
I am interested to know what the differences are.

Thank you for the quick reply.
Could you please post the height of the LCV cross member at its ends - as you can see in the above photos I have had to pack out the cross member fitted to my Minor by 1/2" to get everything to clear.
