hydraulic clutch conversion

[Carson45]

I cannot find too much information on which kit to get. I was looking at LMR and most the McLeod kits arent looking like they fit a cobra, unless Im reading it wrong. Whats the best kit to get for a 03 cobra? Experiences from anyone? Worth it?

Modern driveline makes a kit with a remote reservoir and mentions the 4v cover. I have to experience with them yet but I did save the info for when I get to that stage in my build. Worth looking into.

No contest.
MDL kit is an actual design, not some adhoc crap using two slave cylinders.

There is an MDL install thread in SVTP.

SYD was supposedly going to do an article on the MDL kit, but it never happened for some reason.

Definitely going MDL at some point. I'd be doing it now but my trans is already in and I need to spend the money elsewhere to finish my car.

I really want to see if I can find a way to lower the pedal height, pretty sure I can.

Just looked at their kit and they mention "moving PCV to front" on the DOHC engine.

I have trouble seeing how the PCV gets in the way.
Also,, Iirc MDL had a reservoir relocation kit as well.
I would contact MDL about that before installing.
I would like to see an article or writeup about this kit on the DOHC!!

Sorry to disappoint but you won't see a full writeup from me on a DOHC.

I am one of those lowly new edge owners missing half his valves. Although having 16 does put me slightly above whale shit i.e. the V6 guys!

I tried to buy from modern drive line and they said their kit would not work with 03 Cobra unless they have updated it to work with the Cobra since I last called then
Just personal preference I way prefer the hydraulic to the clutch cable.

That looks like a nice option. I wonder how the pedal effort is and if the pedal height is lowered or adjustable?

I have a Mcleod rst clutch with 26 spline input shaft.
The pedal is definitely softer than the stock clutch and cable I replaced.
Don't know if it's softer than the rst with a cable.
Pedal height seems to be the same as with stock clutch and cable.
