Hydraulic to Cable Gearbox Conversion
Has anyone ever converted the hydro box to a cable actuated one. I am installing a b16a in a 1973 civic which is all set up for a cable clutch (just like the later CRX's). I know hasport includes such a setup in one of their conversion kits, but I really don't want to pay several hundred $$$ just for the clutch conversion pieces. Has any one out here made one on their own? Looking at the pictures it should'nt be too hard to make.
just contact hasport and see if you can purchase just the adapter brackets and hardware. I wouldn't think it would be too expensive.
and keep us up to date with pics of your progress... good luck

Think again
However, you do get what you pay for. They are very nice peices but on the pricey side. You'd also want to have the engine in to check fitment as they take up a bit of room.
anyway.
I made my own (not for a b-series). Had the profile CNCed and welded/tapped the extrusions seperatly. Hasport builds theirs out of a very thick billet.
The goal is to displace the clutch leaver as much as it did with the hydro cylinder - just measure what the displacement is on an integra for reference.
The only way to do this without having to modify the pedal side is to build something similar to what hasport does. If you're really brave, you can play with where the clutch cable attaches to the pedal (at a lower pivot point) and opt for something more simple at the clutch leaver. hard to explain.
It's a lot harder than it seems and has to be done right.
