Striped the slave cylinder and mounting plate off
cleaned and painted the mounting plate and re fitted a brand new
slave cylinder.
Replaced the clevis pins on the verto arm ( worn almost flat)
wish I'd bought a new arm too but can do that later
bled the clutch and all works well again so took It for a run
in the country.
