Mc Leod 1964-66 Mustang Hydraulic Conversion Instructions - Manual

1964 – 1966 Ford Mustang Hydraulic Clutch Conversion Kit
1) Remove all of the existing factory mechanical clutch linkage components. (Clutch rod, bell crank or
Z bar). See Figure 1.
Figure 1 Figure 2
2) For ease of installation it is recommended you remove the brake master cylinder and booster
assembly (if equipped). Carefully remove the brake lines from the master cylinder and mark them
to be certain they are reinstalled into the correct ports. Brake lines may need to be rerouted if
interference occurs. Only use proper steel brake lines when rerouting the brake lines.
3) If the vehicle has power brakes, you will need to use the two long spacers between the McLeod
Master Cylinder mounting plate and the power brake bracket. If you do not have power brakes
(no power brake booster), you will need to use one long and one short spacer between the
McLeod master cylinder mounting plate and the brake master cylinder. This will space the master
cylinder mounting plate even with the firewall on the driver side. Using the two supplied 3/8-16 x
2” bolts pass the bolts through the large upper holes in the mounting plate, spacers and brake
master cylinder (or bracket) into the firewall. See Figure 2. Tighten these bolts snug at this time.
4) The hole located on the right side of the bracket just above the bend is the third mounting hole for
this bracket. The bracket can serve as a drill guide to drill a 3/8” hole through the firewall for this
third mounting fastener.
5) Mark the firewall at the top center of the large oval hole in the mounting bracket. See Figure 2.
Remove the mounting plate to gain access, using a hole saw drill a 1” diameter hole in the firewall
to allow the push rod for the McLeod master cylinder to pass through the firewall. See Figure 3.
