I'm planning out my t-5 swap. the clutch kit I'm buying comes with an adjustable cable, firewall adjuster, and aluminum quadrant. the quadrant is identicle to a Steeda clutch quadrant. Instead of buying a Mustang Steve quadrant and wedling it on I was thinking of bolting the Steeda quadrant to the top of the clutch pedal somehow after cutting down the top of the pedal. I don't have a pedal set yet to look at and see hoe feasible this is but sounds like it shold be simple enough to make a little bracket and bolt it all togethor. Would save me some money by not having to buy the Quadrant from Mustang Steve.
yes some one has done it not sure who tho search google for 60's mustang t5 swap they did it on there's
I plan on doing it this way too Ryan, I will be working on it next weekend. Worst case I can think of is making a steel back plate for the aluminum quadrant or absolute worst case I will just take the stocker out of my sn-95 but I doubt it will get to that point. I will snap some pictures when working on it for you.
I figure i could cut the pedal down like when doing the Mustang steve Quadrant, maybe cut it more so I don't have to dent the cowl to clear. Then make some sort of "T" out of some metal bracing and bolt it to the pedal and then bolt the Quadrant to the top of the "T". Hopefully I can get this done without welding. Or if I can atleast get it mocked up I can have a buddy weld the "T" to the pedal when I have him come over to make my trans mount.
I welded a piece of tubing slightly lower and rearward of the brake pedal pivot tube and used a stock quadrant and steeda firewall adjuster with stock cable. then I cut the mustang pedal top off so I could use the stock mustang bolt with square hole and welded that portion to the maverick clutch pedal. had to tweak the maverick pedal and cut the top of it off as well. any 60's mustang pedal might work since it has to be modified anyway. I wanted the pedals to appear stock from the footwell area. you can't see that it has been modified at all without looking under the dash
Check this out. http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/t5-cable-operated-clutch-pedal-conversion.118710/ I’m going this route, then replacing the plastic quadrant with a aluminum one.
Well this came back out of nowhere. I ended up using a stand-alone hydraulic clutch pedal assembly from CNC
