I've had some trouble with my clutch cable not being able to keep its adjustment. This started about a year ago when the firewall fatigued and spider web cracked after almost 200,000 miles.

Well after looking around I found

and

and I decided to see if I could change things from a cable to hydraulics. Well, after an all afternoon thrash fest yesterday I have it completed and I'm glad to report that it works very well. Here are some pictures of the installation.

Access to the reservoir on the mastercylinder is very limited and I had to notch and weld in a reinforcement plate in hte knee bar where the master/pedal assembly are mounted, but it was worth all of the trouble. I can now shift gears with out grinding and it should not loose its adjustment like the cable did after the firewall fiasco.
I still have a few loose ends to tie up, but for now my daily drives will be a lot more relaxing for both me and the tracker transmission.

do you have part numbers and stores where you got the parts

The pedal came from Chassis Shop Performance Products and here is a link to their web page:

I tried to order the slave cylinder fom them as well but they were out of stock at the moment. Instead I ordered it from Speedway motorson the following web page
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/783,38_Universal-Pull-Type-Slave-Cylinders.html?itemNo=slave (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/783,38_Universal-Pull-Type-Slave-Cylinders.html?itemNo=slave)
Both of these items are stock CNC Controls items and can probably be found at a variety of other vendors, especially ones that service the sand rail market.
Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
