    Default Worlds easyest Auto -> manual conversion, go the RT40.

    With the 4AG comes the T50 (like Tarzan and Jane,) which unlike the A20 Toyoglide is a manual. The best bit with the RT40 (and all old corona's) is that they all had hydraulic clutches unlike the early corolla's. The other point of note is that the tubs were all the same with blanking plates simply bolted in to cover up holes.

    A quick trip to U-Pull-It secured a manual pedal box, for $40 including master cylinders. my brake one was on the way out so I grabbed another one.

    Onto the conversion: Take off the clutch mastercylinder blanking plate:

    Give the replacement MasterCylinders a good clean and flushing to get 40 years of crap out of them: Metholated Sprits works well.

    Take out the old Pedals

    Bang in the new ones:

    MasterCylinders installed, Just like a bought one


    Will just need a braded clutch line as no prefabricated unit exists. The instalation of the motor and box will occur as soon as Will (20valveCorona) sends over his modified front subframe and gearbox cross member.

    The whole job took about an hour, the hardest parts was reaching up throug to re-thread the bolts. Pitty they all aren't this easy.

    Cheers

    if your after a passenger side clutch line RT14X Corona has a hard line from
    the master across the firewall and down to gbox. Then a flexy line to the slave.

    Used this in my 28 to save going a long braided line.
