Hi all

I would like to know if anyone has tried using another car slave cylinder on mini clubman 1977.My car is a pre verto clutch.My reason for asking is because I am from South Africa and the guys that sell spares here are way over priced on mini spares,I am thinking of using a 1992 corolla slave cylinder.Has anyone gt any ideas or point me in the right direction as to how I can use another slave cylinder.
Thank you in advance.

Have you looked to see if you can do a rebuild with a much cheaper rebuild kit?

Hi Krusher

My Slave broke at the nipple point it is unusable.Thank you for the quick response

Bore and stroke size are your issue, you need to be the same on both to ensure it would work

You could probably bleed a clutch slave successfully through the hose union. Just slacken the hose and push the cylinder piston back in with a stout screwdriver. Hold the pedal down to stop it feeding back to the master.

 

You could also drill out and replace the bleed screw with summet like http://compare.ebay....ff13=80&ff14=66

 

 

Though any 7/8" bore cylinder with enough stroke will do, if you can mount it.

Hi Ethel
Will a different size bore cause any problems or if I get the same bore will it work

[KernowCooper]

Bore is important as incorrect will mean different pressure, to big the master cylinder wont stroke far enough
