    Question Switch Mount Needed for Hydraulic Clutch on Wilwood Pedal Box?

    I have the MKIV with Wilwood pedal box, and Coyote engine package will be coming with hydraulic clutch and a 3/4" Wilwood master cylinder. I'm not entirely clear if I still need to attach the clutch switch mounting plates to the pedal pivot shaft. My kit came with two identical switches, which I mounted on the brake pedal and clutch pedal, underneath. I read a post somewhere that the Coyote controls pack comes with a clutch switch... not entirely sure.

    Does anyone have any build threads or photos to share on a similar set-up?

    Thanks,

    I think I found a thread that answers my question...

    https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...draulic-Clutch

    But can anyone tell me what this part is for, the one I'm holding? Do I have to mount to the pivot shaft somehow?

    Would anyone know if this is the correct or general idea for the clutch switch mount and the switch plunger plate when using a hydraulic clutch with the Wilwood pedal box? The Coyote Gen 3 instructions on the FFR Parts site only show the cable and quadrant setup.

    Yes, that appears to be correct. The Ford Performance switch that comes with the control pack clips into the stationery bracket. The piece on the clutch MC pushrod pushes against the switch plunger.

    Did both of these brackets come with the Coyote installation kit? I have a hydraulic clutch setup but don't remember seeing either of those brackets. I'm at the point where I'm ready to install the switches so trying to understand the best setup for the hydraulic clutch safety switch.

    You can use the ffr supplied switch for the Coyote harness. I did on this build post #16.
