MK2 CORTINA JUICE TO CABLE CLUTCH?

[RED]

Hi All

Havent been on here in quite a while.I hope this is ok to ask here..............

Im now into yet another one off project,using a 1300 mk2 cortina x flow eng/box . This 'box has a juice clutch,but Im wondering if it is poss to convert it to a cable operation,as I happen to have a new mk2 Escy cable laying about.I am using the pedal box from a Triumph Spitfire. Making the bracketry isnt the problem,but Im wondering if this has been done by anyone on here. IE is it effective ,or not worth the hassle? Alternative is to buy a new master and slave cylinder plus pipework,which doesnt appear to be cheap!

Any info or comments appreciated

Thanks....

I did years ago on my mk2 tina when I fitted a 2.0 pinto with a type 9 box

 

on an rs2000 bell housing which is cable clutch.

 

Now its cossied I run a hydraulic clutch, much less hassle in the long run imho.

 

You will have to find an escort bell housing and clutch release arm if you

 

wanna go cable, and make a bracket on the bulkhead to take the cable.

 

All depends which way is cheaper for you I suppose?

the only escort that came with a removable bell housing was the mex and some rs 1600s but they were juice as you put it you would need a 1.6 capri/mk3 cortina/mk4cortina
