Anybody have any pictures of where the toploader linkage exits the firewall and maybe even where it hooks up to the pedal on any 67-70 mustang. I need to know for my hydraulic setup I haven't been able to find any.

Sorry bud, my car is an auto or I'd have already snapped a pic for ya. I recall articles in the magazines for converting to a hydraulic clutch, have you looked on their websites?

There should be a plugged hole on the firewall you can punch out to feed the clutch rod through. I can't snap a pic because the rod is hidden behind a bunch of stuff.

Are you making this yourself or did you buy a hydraulic kit with no instructions?

I will be buying the hydraulic clutch tomorrow but I can't seem to find that piece that needs to be punched out. It's driving me crazy I need a pic to see where it comes from. I want to find it so I can take some measurements.

Do you haev the clutch pedal in? It should be in line with the pushrod hole.

Yeah the pedal is in, where does the pushrod connect on your pedal? At the top or inthe hole 3/4's of the way up?

On the "ear" that sticks out the side of the pedal. I have to run but I'll post a pic in a bit.

edit - I took the pic with my old camera thinking it's be "faster" but I can't find the card reader. Basically it's in line with the ear of the clutch pedal, on the bottom hole. It is to the upper-left of the steering column. I think that's the speedo cable immediately above the hole.

Hmmm still having trouble finding it. The biggest problem is I don't really know what I am looking for. I have taken this whole car apart and swapping out the pedals and locating this dang thing have been the most tiresome by far.

my '73 didn't have a plug. i looked until i was blue in the face. i ended just threading the rod from the clutch pedal to the firewall. on my car the rubber seal around the steering column was large enough to pass it through. i did a four speed changeover on a '71 back in '80 and i remember doing the same thing. i don't recall there being a plug in the firewall on that car either. is it possible that Ford made 2 different firewalls?
