Auto to Manual Clutch cut template.
Not sure if this is the right place, but.
My Clutch master cut template is now available, $20 shipped.This allows you to convert an automatic car to a manual with a 4th gen Tick master (or 3rd gen) cly.Verified fitment with 4th, 3rd, and Hawks pedals. Uses the stock steering column holes as a reference where to cut the firewallMakes cutting the firewall EZ.If you want one, hit me up on FB, or on my Instagram: @3rdgenguy.
Or on my eBay listing.
I tend to not pay attention to messages here on 3rdgen.org.
On my personal 1992 car. Hole already cut, excellent fitment for the Tick master cly.
Tick master installed before I painted my engine bay.
On a local guy's 3rd gen
My soon to be available clutch & steering column doubler support brace.
On another 3rd gen owners car.

Re: Auto to Manual Clutch cut template.
Will this work with Hawks pedals and the m/cyl that comes in their conversion kit. I'm doing the TKX conversion from 700r4 on a 91. Like the idea of the doubler to stiffen the firewall, when will you have them available

At the 4:40 mark, you can see what I did to cut the oval. Basically a hole saw, cutoff wheel, then a carbide bit.

This template works with 3rd gen, 4th gen and Hawks retrofit pedals.
the hawks master cly is a Ripoff of the Tick.
So yes it will work.
Although I recommend ppl NOT buy something stolen from another product
As far as the doubler, that's still in the works.
Those plates require a CNC water jet to make, so I can't just make them easily.
6061 T6 aluminum doubler with optional cruise control hole block off. Setup for a Flaming River Race Column. Also have a OEM column version available.

Great video, very impressive project - what recomendations do you have for those of us wanting to do a complete stock (all original OEM parts) manual trans swap without removing the engine, master cylinder, etc ??

Re: Auto to Manual Clutch cut template.
You can cut the clutch master hole from inside the car.
it's cramped, but there's room.
Some plastic can be used to keep shavings from flying everywhere.

Re: Auto to Manual Clutch cut template.
This is really slick. It appears that the plates are aluminum? Any chance you'd make them in steel so one could spot weld them into place and not rely on bolts?

Re: Auto to Manual Clutch cut template.
I used this on my 82 about a year ago. It works great. My 82 already was a manual. The hole in the fire wall needed to be elongated and the bolt holes for the Mc needed to be drilled. This template is especially useful on the 82-83 cars that have the less supported firewall. It also helped me make a plate to double up the fire wall for support
