Hello- > I don't know if anyone makes a hydraulic kit for anything other than a sand > rail. Otherwise, it's an intriguing idea, which has come up here before. > > Does anyone on this list have a hydraulic clutch on their type 3? Yes. Of course, with a Porsche 915/923 transmission, I didn't have many other options :-). The kit I used is ISP's kit. It is designed to fit a stock clutch pedal and tunnel (T1 and T3) and a stock 4-speed VW tranny (T1 and T3). In that configuration, it goes together with very little (or no) fabrication at all. Of course, I had to modify the living crud out of the slave cylinder setup to make it fit my tranny. My only words of advice: do NOT, repeat, do NOT use the nylon line that comes with the kits! ISP is currently in the process of converting their kit over to hard lines (due to problems that some people, including myself AND the owners of the shop, have had). It's really simple to do. The threads are all 1/8"NPT. Go to the FLAPS and get fittings that go from 1/8"NPT to a standard brake line fitting. Then, buy brake lines to hook it up. To allow flexibility in the rear for slave cylinder movement, put a loop into the line. Please trust me on this one... I lost a LOT of money discovering the need for a solid, non-compliant line!
