Our next project would be to figure out the clutch linkage for our Elva Mk VI. The original Volkswagen Beetle transaxle that our Hewland Mk II transaxle is based on uses a rather crude, cable-style clutch system.
Most sports racers from this time period were converted over to a Girling-based hydraulic system. In theory, this would be a good …
Interesting set up that looks reliable.
I had a similar issue when I was restoring my Jamaican bodied MGA and used a 3.4 V6 engine from GM plus a T5 trans. I hate the idea of the HTOB that lives inside the bell housing and requires the engine out when it wears out or screws up, so I built a simple bracket that attaches a slave (I used a TR6 part) via a bracket that I designed and had made up to actuate the clutch. Works great and takes 15 min. to replace or remove to rebuild if it ever need it.
