Triumph 1300 FWD - clutch slave cylinder compatibility

[Marinaman]

Hello,

Please, could someone advise me?
I am working on a leaking Triumph 1300 FWD clutch slave cylinder.
And I have this NOS 1500 clutch slave cylinder laying about.

Can I swap out the 1300 model (64068381) for a 1500 model (64068388)?

I know that:
The 1500 model has a longer body (longer stroke?)
Has the same bore as the 1300 model (7/8")
But the piston is a bit longer and has a spring behind it

Is the 1500 model an improvement on the 1300 model?

Thank you.

I don’t think there was any overlap of 1300 and 1500 production, and there are a number of improvements to components on the 1500.

if you have it, I would try it.

Thank you for the info and your suggestion.
It would have worked if the push rod was shortened. So, no straight swap.

I used the rubber piston seal from the 1500 model. That's the same.
Cleaned out the bore of the original one and put it all back together.
I have clutch action again 🙂

Thank you.
