HICKL Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I read an old post were someone used a F150 master and hose and it hooked right up to the Camaro slave with no mods. anybody know what year F150 stuff this works with? I looked at the auto parts today at one from an 85 I believe and it was plastic. Has anybody else tried this hookup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 A friend of mine is the one who put that together. Yes it uses the stock for Ford plastic line, and it just presses in to the Chevy slave with a roll pin to hold it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Hickl I also did the Ford F150 set up for my 89 Camaro T5 trans and BH. I'll go check my part numbers and repost here later today. Note that the MC does not just pop into the fire wall. You may have to grind the hole in the firewall a little larger and the bolt holes on mine did not mach the studs on Ford MC so I had to redrill the bottom hole as I recall. Once it was in and bled it works very smooth. On my next project I am going to use a Tilton MC and have a -3 stainless hose made up with the roll pin connectors instead of modifying the Camaro slave cylinder per JTR. You can see the Ford set on my son's web site below. Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Hickl Here are my part numbers. Verify these p/n 's with Lee/parts strore: F150 Clutch MC - NAPA p/n 39560 (don't recall which year F150) Camaro Clutch Slave - NAPA p/n 37821 ( mine was for an 89 Camaro BH) Hydrualic Hose - Ford Dealer p/n E3TZ - 7A512 - A Tube Assembly Kit The only problem I had with this set up was where the MC push rod connectes to the clutch pedal. The Ford MC has an "eye" at the end of the push rod instead of a fork as on the Datsun. I had to use a clevis pin through the "eye" to connect the push rod to the clutch pedal. After about a year the "eye" in the push rod wore and started binding so I had to install a bushing in the "eye . This may not be a problem for you as the previous owner of my son's Z had butchered the clutch pedal MC attachment point when he fabbed up an old GM brake MC for use as a clutch MC. The geometry of the push rod and clutch pedal was not right so I replaced the clutch pedal with good one from a wrecking yard. It works fine now. I think a 7/8 in. bore Tilton MC and a custom -3 stainless hose with roll pin connectors would also work with the Camaro clutch slave unit. Have fun!

Mike kZ Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 HicklOn my next project I am going to use a Tilton MC and have a -3 stainless hose made up with the roll pin connectors instead of modifying the Camaro slave cylinder per JTR. Miles I checked a few places that make hydraulic hoses to see if they could make a hose with the roll pin end on it. Nobody had those ends, they said that those roll pin ends are made for the auto companies only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I checked with a speed shop last year here in Sacramento. The guy told me he could make a -3 line with roll pin connectors. I can recheck this and provide a contact if you are interested. Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if someone can make roll pin ends it would make life much easier on the slave end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
