Jordon T Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I need a new master cylinder for my vitesse mk1, this one seems quite cheap compared to the rest, what are peoples oppinions on it?? Should i buy? is it the right one for my car?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRIUMPH-VITESSE-UPRATED-CLUTCH-MASTER-CYLINDER-/310276872477?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item483df1591d#ht_569wt_905Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 It will fit, but...............the std vitesse (and alll the small chassis cars) had a 0.625 (5/8) cylinder. This is 0.75, so rather larger. It will make the clutch feel a little heavier, and I guess a small possibility of overdoing the clutch release as it will move a bit more if the pedal is fully depressed.TBH it wouldn't worry me in the slightest. I think they are landrover cylinders, can be had from about £10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordon T Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Do you think it worth me buying one of these cylinders or paying double for a genuine vitesse mk1 cylinder??Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gt6s Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Apart from the bore size being bigger the reservoir is at a different angle to the proper vitesse item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Just buy one! find the cheapest is probably the way to go, but watch it has the correct sized union. I "think" you need the one with the yellow "plug", probably series landrover. Somebody should be able to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
