Im looking to find a good and not too expensive hydraulic clutch kit. I now have a manual and want to convert it. Thanks in advance
 
I used the master and slave cylinders for an 82 CJ7 . I had to drill my clutch pedal to fit the push rod for the MC. Pretty much everything bolted right up with little or no modifications. I did retain the adjustable push rod between the slave and the clutch fork.
I have most of the conversion in my build thread: https://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f98/79-cj7-they-re-coming-take-me-away-aha-24761/index11.html
In the build thread, I show a bracket that I made for the slave cylinder, but later discovered that the holes in the bell housing matched the bolt pattern of the slave cylinder. I did have to shim with a thin washer behind one of the bolts on the slave cylinder to compensate for the flywheel shield otherwise the slave would not pull down evenly which would probably have broken off one of the bolt holes.
 
I converted my CJ clutch to hydraulic with a kit that I bought from extreme custom fab on ebay. They had the best price I could find. I used mriplaybass's link (posted above) as my guide and it was not difficult and it works great.
