Hydraulic Clutch Master Cylinder Issues
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 12:05 pm
I currently have the marina (1.3, 1979) pedal box installed in my car, this has the hydraulic clutch master cylinder which has started leaking very slightly into the inside of the car.
This in the name of 'modifying' is connected through to a concentric clutch slave cylinder from a Vauxhall omega B (via a mini mk4 flexi clutch hose, actuating a escort MK2 clutch plate, between a sierra XR4i type 9 box and a Capri Mk1 1600 xflow).
I couldn't get a decent bite point - too low (I think) so i adapted the clutch pedal to come up slightly higher, which fixed the problem but means the pedals don't line up too well ands its a little flappy, so.... rather than trying to find and fork out for a original master cylinder / repair kit... could i use a new cylinder with a bigger bore??????????? and does anyone know what the old bore would be and what new bore i should try and find or can i get the clutch master re-bored.... sorry for all the questions...
The clutch is amazing tho very light and it never slips.....
Thanks
