More "details"

I did not have much time so I slapped this together but you get the idea. I put it on the trans before paint and it looks like it will do the job as long as it does not bend or break.

Hopefully this will work. I still need to paint the welded part and cut off the excess threaded rod from the slave. Then I need to find the correct fitting to screw the clutch line into the slave. Anyone have an idea what size and thread pitch the clutch line is?

This is what it will look like ready to run. I bled the system but there is a small leak from the bleeder and inlet fittings on the slave. I will have to remove them and use Teflon tape per the instructions to get a good seal. I was surprised at how little effort is required to disengage the clutch.

Looks nice but comes at a large price tag. $653.90 plus $18.00 per fitting.

This pull style slave is not that bad if you have a welder handy. If it works out it may help solve the infamous bleeding issues with the stock setups.

I forgot to mention that the fitting on the slave end of the clutch line is on a 6mm hard-line and is M12 x 1.0 with a bubble flare. I ended up using a brake line extension instead of a 90 degree fitting (preferred) because the proper 90 degree fitting is not available. The brake line fabbed by "The Parker Store" cost just under $10.00. A better solution would be to cut off the existing metal braided flex line and putting an American sized flare fitting on the end and then fabbing up a new flex line that would fit into the fitting that comes with the after market slave.

Good news, it looks like the Teflon tape on the threads works. Now onto the plumbing...

I've caught up, too, but I still have a long road ahead: plumb & mount oil cooler/exaust/suspension & axle mods/install hoses and fluids/see if it runs.

Took a while without PIP, but here's a pic:

I have several reasons..one is its prevents one from using the isuzu or muncie without modding either and or the clutch arm, slave mount or the shift cable mounts
Also its a pain in the butt to deal with in the stock caddy for certain repair jobs
