I have a 1962 CJ5 already modified to have a M151 drive train. I was thinking about trying to install a hydrolic clutch slave and master cylinder using parts and pedal assembly from Mazda or similar truck with similar equipment. If it works out I might add the brake master cylinder and booster. My fear there is the drum brakes won't take the added PSI on stopping.
Any thoughts or practical experience?????????

Re: hydrolic clutch conversion
Turns out the Brake booster upgrade was the easier of the two. Got a Nissan Sentra booster and master cylinder installed. To do it I had to do away with the floor pedals and subsequent undercarriage linkages. I also had to rebuild an already decimated firewall and install pivot type floor pedals from a Mazda PU. This assembly will also facilitate the Clutch master cylinder. The next step is to work out the clutch slave cylinder......
