    Clutch pipe routing and bracket location

    Hi I am rebuilding my left hand drive series 3 and can’t for the life of me figure out where the bracket goes. Does anyone have photos?

    Thanks

    On my '73 Ser III 88" there is a solid hydraulic line from the M/C that goes along the back of the firewall over to the other side of the truck, then down to a bracket fixed to the inner fender. From there a flex line goes down to a bracket held to the block by two 5/16" bolts (½" head). That bracket is bolted to the block right behind the fuel pump sediment bowl. From that bracket it appears that another solid line runs above the bellhousing to the Slave Cyl on the other side. Kind of a convoluted path, but it works. Can barely see the bracket on the photo above

      Thanks so much because mine is a left hand drive it will be different but I am going to go with a bracket on the side of the foot well. Just need to locate a bracket somewhere on the block.

        Mine is LHD as well, so bracket should be as I show in the earlier post.

          If I remember correctly, the LHD truck I saw, had plastic clips that helped to hold the clutch pipe to the firewall.
