    Posted: Mar/15/2019 at 5:20pm
i am in dire need of visuals of a original clutch pedal setup in the car as well as the parts where the linkage goes through the firewall. I have an auto setup and don’t know wether I need to butcher a wilwood pedal setup into the car to get a hydraulic clutch setup in(bum knee needs the easy pedal and ego need the third pedal) or if I could make an original amc setup work. Any help would be appreciated.

I understood the mechanics of the pedals, it’s the spacing left to right on the firewall. Basically where the controls pass through. I have to have enough room to fit both reservoirs next to each other but not on top of each other if you know what I mean.

I just measured the reservoirs and it requires a minimum of 3 inches between the centerline of the firewall passages. Is there that much room?

maybe, I wouldn’t be against it but am partial to staying original looking, already completely original looking so thought might as well keep consistent. Do the pedal assemblies come up for sale often?

I have a '74 Javelin, but fit later Spirit clutch & brake pedals when I changed from auto to manual.  The Spirit pedals aren't the correct fit and needed modification to work, but I had them and couldn't find Javelin pedals at the time.  I used a Wilwood master mounted at a slight angle with a remote reservoir and was able to fit with minimal modifications - a bracket to the pedal, hole in firewall for master and hole for lower master flange bolt (upper hole I used the bottom hole for the booster and removed the stud from the booster bracket), mount the reservoir, run the hoses.   Not too bad.  
Details here:
 
Hope this helps,RD
