Clutch slave cylinder/Exhaust enquiry..

[Scimher]

My old 1200 conv. has had a leaking clutch system for ages....it appears to have a diaphragm clutch. It has what appears to be the original non-sychro box with the car probably being manufactured during Oct./Nov. of 1964. The engine, however, is the 1300 Dolomite unit. Is there only one type of slave-cylinder that can fit..?? (I don't want to get the wrong one....)
Also the exhaust pipe really needs replacing. I have access to a stainless back-box, but do I need to fit the front system for a 13/60....??
Many thanks in advance for your expertise................

There are 2 slave cylinders. The one for a coil clutch has the machined groove all the way round (ie where the pinch bolt sits) and the diaphragm version has a small area/flat machined. All visible when you can see the cylinder.

As to exhaust, assuming it has a single downpipe, then yes, a 13/60 is what you are after. Be aware the bores vary between 13/60 and at least early, if not all 1200's.

Thanks very much, Clive........(& for moving the post to its rightful spot, if it was you........ :B)

One other thought building on Clive's response: the 13/60 headpipe mounting flange is slanted towards the rear of the car, while the same area on a 1200 manifold "points straight down"; given that, you'll definitely need a 13/60 style head pipe.

Great - thanks, Andy.....
