looks top lad, are you running a hydro change or cable change on your box?? thats the bit I'm stuck at really, don't know what to do haha
Cheers Joe, was just reading your build .
I bit the bullet and got a hydraulic clutch kit from CQ.
I was thinking cable clutch and then remembered I got through 3 clutch cables in a year with my old Clio Williams which had a heavy clutch and they were a real pain to fit lol
Ahh cheers!! yeah I'm not sure what to do, I have been thinking hydro but can't find much on them/ didn't know the differences between them as in advantages ect. they are a bit of a pain to fit aren't they?
I didnt go for the brake / clutch kit as I didnt want to lose the servo and I've heard that needs some mods.
agh really? i was reading a thread and it was saying to go hydro you needed to move the servo inside near the pedal and then make a new hole for this and that.
So you just bolt it on and then join it all up? have you got any links to it for me please??
The only thing I think I need to do is mount the master cylinder to the pedal box that it comes with. Remove the existing steering column cover and replace it with the modified one. I then plan to mount the reservoir in the scuttle panel with a small hole and grommet in the bulk head.

Hello bud, great build so far! I'm glad you ditched the 20v in favour of the g60 engine, it'll be a right beast with character now
Cheers Dan, looking forward to the G60 growl

I have the original part numbers but want to crack on and not wait weeks for them to arrive from germany.
I believe there is a concave washer and a large 30mm washer?? I have the bolts. Why are the holes so large in the cup section lol

To start with a pic of the 02j shifter which I missed out a while back:
Got the Hydraulic clutch steering column fitted today, wasn't too bad but the shear bolts holding it on were a pain. Nothing that a cold chisel couldn't sort after half an hour Was expecting it to be a straight forward swap but there was a redundant mount in the way I had to remove that fouled the master cylinder.
I also managed to fit the manifold as well. Fortunately it fits nicely, but very close to the UJ boot.
