Hey guys so I'm half way through my A/T to M/T swap, just need info how other people have mounted the clutch bracket the on that's welded to the frame above the pedal, would I have to weld it or will I be able to get away with drilling 4 holes in the frame and bolting it up behind the wiper mechanism.
would I also need to swap brake boosters too or can I use the automatic one.
still looking around for info though
Hope to do a full write up soon thanks guys

 

So back from the dead and jumped out and got it done
Was looking for a write up on this and didn't find one so here's how I did mine, mind you I'm not putting everything you need to remove here still working on that write up, a/t to m/t swap post will have everything cost wise and whatnot

So tools I used,
Drill, big rounded and flat file, 2-1/2-in hole saw, markers, and measuring tape, rubber mallet, thin flat putty file,

1 measure the parts car Clutch MC mount plate and hole size and the Clutch Pedal Mount bracket
2 copy over measurements to car being used and take the clutch MC mount plate
3 back at parts car drill the 6 welds that hold the clutch mount bracket to the firewall below the windshield and use a flat or pointed putty file idk what it's called but it's thin and use a rubber mallet to hit the handle and pop off the mount go easy on it cause I bent the mount a bit but it bent back
4 mark up and measure the placement of CPM bracket and CMC mount plate
5 double check measurements and placement
6 start drilling the hole and bolt holes for CMC mount plate, make sure the little arrow is facing the brake pedal assembly
7 attach Clutch Master Cylinder and mount plate and bolt it down to firewall and attach Clutch Pedal assembly
8 attach CPM bracket to pedal assembly and get it close to your measurements and start drilling six holes to mount the bracket to the firewall, I drill one hole in the middle top first took everything off and finished like that depends on how big your drill is if you need space9 you should be done make sure everything else sits right and functions as it should


End of hole was about 6-3/4 in away from firewall, hole diameter was about 3-1/2 in shy about 1 or 2 cm so I decided to go with a 2-1/2 in holesaw and work my way out from there with wd-40 and a rounded file.


I measured from clutch to brake pedal mount was about 11 in, also the the three holes I drilled on top near 1-3-4 there's three more on the bottom, I just took the mount and marked holes and kept measurements in place on automatic car


Everything all said an done it ended up at 11-1/2 inch's but looks good almost like stock


Had the window wipers removed, so I put Five 10mm bolts to hold the clutch mount could not get last one drill was to big but it's nice and secure with five going to put loctite or something on it for insurance


Hole drilled and you can tell how I used the file it was trial and error and after I felt it was good enough I got clutch MC plate drew a circle and bolt holes with arrow facing brake pedal so CMC doesn't sit upside down


That's how it sat completed I ended up using on 12mm nut and bolt and 3 10mm nut and bolts just cause I kept losing my 12's it's also secure, would caution to be careful not to drill into brake booster




Looks about right, also remember you can't use the brake pedal assembly from an automatic cause it's to wide and will rub on clutch pedal you will have to use one from a manual
