I’ve discussed this idea on mud a couple times and never concluded it was possible.
Based on info in this 70 thread… Boosted vs unboosted clutch master cylinder. What’s the benefits? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/boosted-vs-unboosted-clutch-master-cylinder-whats-the-benefits.1203228/
I believe a vacuum boosted clutch is lighter and potentially could have more slave travel if they’re in fact equipped with a 3/4” slave cylinder.
Now it had been suggested there Isn’t enough space to fit a clutch booster. I’d almost given up on the idea until I saw this photo in an add…
It appears to be a SA 40 series, and it has a vacuum boosted clutch slave.
Now some ask why?
In 2002, I was in an MVA while riding a motorcycle. The car saw me and pulled out in front of me anyway. Long story short, my left fibula was broken and the cartilage of that knee was also destroyed. It was described at that time as a knee of a 95 year old. Now, the same surgeon has said my right knee is worse.
The 80 series brake booster is great to reduce braking force for the right knee.
The left leg, however, needs to push a LUK clutch for a SBC. The SBC means I don’t have to shift often, but it still isn’t great for the left knee. Of course I could spend a large fortune and convert to automatic, but I hate automatics,
Thoughts? Comments? Anyone done it or seen it in person?
