Struggling with pedal box install using hydraulic clutch. Am I supposed to install the clutch cable quadrant? I don't think I have those parts in my complete kit.

This answer is for the Wilwood pedal box. Assuming that's what you have with a Mk4 complete kit. If you're doing a hydraulic clutch, you don't use any of the quadrant parts. It's as simple as bolting in the proper size master cylinder. Just like the two for the brakes.

Thanks Paul. Yes, I do have the Wilwood pedal box. Do you know of any instructions of directions for this install? Nothing from Wilwood.

I would recommend you contact Mike Forte and purchase his hydraulic clutch kit for the Wilwood pedal box setup. He will supply all the brackets, master cylinder, slave cylinder, hydraulic lines and fittings you need. His website may not have good info on it, better off calling him. The Slave cylinder he used to use is no longer available, I'm not sure of the current setup but have been very happy with the kit he supplied.
He can recommend proper Master cylinder size also. Here's some pics of the older kit on my Mark 3.1 to give you an idea of how the lines run.126211126212126213126214

If you're running a Coyote powerplant, take a look here (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?27544-The-40-Watt-Garage-9365-A-little-run-around-town&p=336275&viewfull=1#post336275) for my answer to the "upper" clutch safety switch.

Best picture I could find. I used a Tilton Master for the clutch. The clutch system is all custom but based on the kit from Dazecars

Glad I found this post. Had similar questions for my MKIV with Wilwood and Coyote.
