Hydraulic clutch conversion

I am thinking of a hydraulic clutch for my 83 Scrambler. I converted the brakes to power brakes. I’m trying to fit the hydraulic clutch activator on the firewall in the hole that it’s supposed to go in. Has anybody done this? I have been looking at the Novak system.

I did that on my CJ-7 and now, on my CJ-8.

For the Master Cylinder I used:
  • Duralast PN 11958
  • Application: 1983 Jeep CJ-7, 2.5L, 2 BL

I can get you the Slave and hose info, along with some measurements, later.
 
For the slave cylinder:
> Advance Adapters Jeep Slave Cylinder Kit (PN 716331)

I think I bought the kit from AA because it had the wedge I needed for my Chevy conversion lever.
On the CJ-7 (T-18/Dana20), I just used the slave from the same year/model as the master.
I was able to use the stock hose (same model/year as the master and slave) as well.

For the hose:
> Hydraulic Hose Fitting, Master Side: Earl’s PN 618103ERL
> Hydraulic Hose Fitting, Slave Side: Earl’s PN 609103ERL
> Hydraulic Hose Adapter, Master and Slave Side (Qty 2 needed): XRP PN 402803
> Hydraulic Hose: Earl’s PN 6000032ERL

What transmission are you running? That looks like a AA bellhousing and clutch fork. Do you have a return spring on it?

I have SBC 350 connected to an NV4500 with the AA bellhousing. Yes, there is a return spring connected.

I fabricated a super simple mounting plate for the slave cylinder that gave me a straight line push to the clutch lever and also gave me a nice mounting point for the return spring
