Default THE SIMPLEST HYDRO CONVERSION EVAR

ok so i got bored today and went to the junk yard and got some stuff for the hatch. and i came across a random eg clutch pedal with the slave attached to it. took it home with me and look where it ended up

in my hand! lol j/k


eg pedal vs ef pedal(in back)



typical honda ef series pedal assembly



eg pedal attached


ugly i know(reminds me of a mazda truck)

how the pedals look normally


with the eg pedal attached



short video of ef pedal

and now the eg

after a few shaves here n there






after that, i realized that was ok but then realized the pedal still sat WWAAYY to far back. so i fixed that, ran into another issue and corrected it as well.

THEN i realized the width of the pedal where it mounted to the side of the pedal assembly was too long, so....i cut it





added some washers just to space it out




then i made a few adjustments to the bracket where the pedals sit and wala!

corrected that pretty quick

most people when doing this use the hole eg pedel setup and mount the master cylinder on the fire wall, this is a good idea also

Does the EG set up go in nicely?

Great job to Shift btw! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

I don't know if I would say its the simplest, but I would say it could be the most least expensive. Great idea none the less. Anyone one with some sort of fabrications skills and the tools to do it (drill, hole saw, grinder..etc) could definitely benefit from this. The amount of time to remove the assembly is still the same. Then add personal R and D to their own work, verses purchasing a conversion that has already been proven to work with a money back guarantee is some times worth piece of mind.

I don't doubt this may become popular kudos to you sir.

oh no the only REAL issue here was/is the pin that needs to go back in the pedal/controll arm so it wont be so wobbly
