Key Features
- 0.750" bore with 1.4" stroke generates 0.619 cu/in fluid volume for most internal and external slave cylinders
- Innovative pedal linkage uses stock clutch rod hole for minimal vehicle modification
- Firewall mounting plate installs under brake master or booster where structure is strongest - eliminates flex
- Long-stroke, small-bore design delivers light pedal effort with full clutch modulation
- Silver anodized billet aluminum remote reservoir eliminates leak-prone clamp connections
- Works with stock clutch pedal and OE reproduction aftermarket pedals
- Compatible with Tilton internal hydraulic release bearings and most external slave cylinders
- Includes MDL One-Man Bleeder Kit for simplified installation and bleeding
- Made in the USA
Description
Converting your first-gen Camaro, Firebird, or early Nova to hydraulic clutch actuation does not have to mean compromising pedal feel or dealing with firewall flex. The common approach - bolting a 3/4" or 7/8" bore by 1" stroke master cylinder directly to the pedal - results in improper pedal pressure, heavy effort, and often requires raising the cylinder higher than the stock clutch rod hole. The MDL LF Series solves these problems with an engineered mechanical linkage system that preserves factory pedal geometry while delivering modern hydraulic performance.
The heart of this kit is the 0.750" bore master cylinder with a 1.4" stroke, producing 0.619 cubic inches of fluid volume - the sweet spot for most aftermarket internal and external slave cylinders. The mechanical linkage allows the full stroke of the pedal to maximize clutch modulation while keeping the cylinder perpendicular to the firewall, providing mechanical advantage that reduces the pedal pressure required to operate the clutch. The firewall plate mounts under your brake master cylinder or booster where the structure is strongest, eliminating flex under load.
The silver anodized billet aluminum reservoir provides a premium appearance while eliminating the leak-prone clamp connections found on cheaper systems. Every kit includes comprehensive installation instructions and MDL's unique One-Man Bleeder Kit, making the bleeding process straightforward even for first-time hydraulic installers. Pair this master kit with Tilton Engineering internal hydraulic release bearings or MDL LF Series external slave cylinder kits for a complete hydraulic clutch solution.
This kit relies on factory components being in good working order - any modifications or damage to the firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect master cylinder performance. Uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
