    Hydraulic clutch

    I'm doing a hydraulic clutch in my '60 Falcon.
    Should the clutch pedal spring be removed? It's similar to the Mustang setup.

    The 13.2" Mustang brakes are looking great up front so far!

    Thanks

    I removed the spring in my 63 Fairlane after hydraulic conversion. Very happy with the setup.

    Hi Barry! No, not able to make the bash. But I know you all will have a great time.
    Once again, I want to thank you for all the effort you put into locating and shipping the export brace for my Fairlane a few years back. Your kindness on this shows the unique bond we gearheads have... even on an international level!

    Cheers!
    Henry
