First, my throttle consists of a cable that exits the top of the foot box and arcs around to connect to the linkage on my Holley carb. The first photo shows the cable exiting the foot box. The second photo show the cable connecting to the carb.
Second, I mounted my brake fluid reservoirs where the could be easily accessed because I built the car for use at the track. I change the brake fluid before each track event to minimize the possibility of boling the fluid and losing braking effectiveness.
Third, my car had a McLeod hydraulic throw out bearing when I bought it, but it gave me nothing but problems. After the third clutch change due to a leaking TOB, I converted to an external hydraulic slave cylinder mounted on a bracket I fabricated. From what I've read here on the forum, a properly installed hydraulic TOB is a wonderful thing. BUT, if you have problems with it, you have to pull the transmission to fix it. External slave clylinders don't require as much work when they need attention.
