| We are converting the Triumph to footclutch and did not want
to use the stock clutch cable so we are converting to a hydraulic
clutch, making all the parts except for the rubbers. We mounted
the stock cover under the milling machine centering on the stock
clutch atuator, then removed that and drilled a hole in the same
position. |
We made the beginning of the clutch cylinder, leaving it attached
to the bar it was made from so we would be able to put the whole thing in the lathe after welding
|
We drilled a hole through the bottom of
the kickstarter cover where the hydraulic line will be attached
later. In the same position we drilled and tapped the hydraulic
cylinder.
|
We made an extension piece that was screwed into the hydraulic
cylinder, using Loctite and a copper ring. To avoid burning the
Loctite and creating a leak, the extension piece was welded to the
cover with most of the part submerged in water to keep the
temperature down. After welding we smooothed the welds and
pressure tested the cover, all good! Next time we will machine the
cylinder to the correct diameter and make a hydraulic piston.
