cheers dale did you have that hose made up or is it goodridge?

[Digby]

Here's some pics of my slave setup... the setup looks different on R1minimagic's car.

I found I needed to shim the slave cylinder out so the push rod wasn't at a silly angle... I don't think the subframe bracket is exactly right. You can just see the adjuster nut on the stud, the bit of pipe over the stud disapears most of the way into the slave cylinder.

You can also see the extra return sprin, the plastic conduit over it is to stop it chewing the slave cylinder rubber end cap.

hope that helps.

Thanks for the prompt on the website glitch, I will check it out... I've got updates on it to do, just finding the time to do it is the problem at the moment.

It is a standard mini aeroquip hose from minispares. I modified my slave to reduce the piston movement, otherwise if you pump the pedal a few times you will destroy the clutch mechanism and cover (like i did!!).. Not a problem with a bike as your hand isnt anywhere near as strong as a hydraulic system!!!

Also a good idea to fit a strong return spring so it comes back quickly when you take your foot off the pedal. Some people double up on the internal spring plate to give more feel etc but mine seems fine.

Hi,

what did you do to modify the slave cylinder? I haven't knackered my mechanisim yet, but now I'm worried something might break with an over heavy foot sometime.

You need the slave type with a circlip in the end. I made up a spacer tube (~15mm long, thickwall) and put it inside the slave after the piston. You can also fit a stop on the engine clutch lever but a bit trickier.

I see, so you've put the "stop" in the slave cylinder with the tube... neat!
