I'd like to upgrade my pedal assembly to hydraulic, anyone have any experience doing this and/or suggestions on parts or suppliers? I know there are lot out there but this is a short list of what I want to accomplish: -car is a tube frame IM with stock VW parts now -would like a dual circuit master as I would like to adjust front to rear bias. Now the front locks up very early. -am putting in an A arm front suspension to replace VW unit. Ideally, a shorter master cylinder would help. Even something an inch or so shorter than stock. -tranny is a Porsche 901 so need a slave cylinder to work with that tranny. -would like a bolt in, replace the stock unit, assembly if possible. Thanks guys and gals.

Pay attention to pedal ratio, and master and slave sizes. Plus length of clutch cross shaft arm. I've driven some real stump-puller clutches, and some real nice ones, all hydraulic.

 

I have a swing axle Beetle trans and Neal pedal assembly. Clutch is a 5/8 master and 7/8 slave IIRC, not really sure, unless I take it apart.

 

My brake master is from Airkewld, designed to work with 4 wheel discs. Just clears the beam. No proportioning valve or resisual valves needed. No lockup, works REALLY well, should have done it a LONG time ago. Good brakes are essential, at least for me.

 

Hope I helped you out.
