Oh Oh! Looks like the Marcos cars used the hydraulic bellhousing and I've got a cable one. Pity. Still, it should be fairly easy to sort out once I know how much thwo I have to design it for. It'll be easier than doing a hydraulic conversion as my brother already had a custom cable made. It's a shame I can't find anyone in melbourne with an original V6 car so I can have a sticky beak.

I have a 1971 V6 and the clutch is hydraulic. Just replaced master and slave cylinders.
