I'm new to the forum - so thanks in advance for your help.

I'm wanting to convert a 2.8 V6 with Type 9 gearbox from cable clutch to hydraulic clutch and am under the impression some TVRs run this setup using a Rover SD1 type slave cylinder mounted on a bracket with the actuating rod operating clutch arm.

Can anyone tell me if this conversion setup is available to buy, and if so, where from ? (ie the bracket,cylinder and arm). Alternatively does anyone have a spare they'd be willing to sell.

Cheers
Mark

YEP certainly the LHD 28oi's had this setup, a badley made bracket an bodged actuating arm and a slave cylinder.

the bracket could be made easily and slave should be easy to get hold of. the only slightly difficult bit would be the actuating arm,

i'll try and get some pics off mine in the next week if its any help
