Anyone converted a 140 to a hydraulic clutch? 140-160

I have gone through about 4 clutch cables over a 2 year period and my current one feels like its on its way out. The symptoms always start with grinding when putting it into reverse and then the 4 forward gears get progressively worse.

I have tried everything I can think of including re-routing the cable (with as few bends as possible), reinforcing the clutch fork and I even replaced the transmission with a reconditioned one about a year ago.

Anyone have any experience/thoughts on a hydraulic setup for a 140? My '78 245 has a hydraulic setup that works like a dream and as far as I know the 120's had hydraulics as well.

cheers
