MK3 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The metal Dust Cover Retainer (cap) on my MK3 Spitfire Clutch Slave Cylinder has been torn when I removed it. As far as I can tell they are not included in the Slave Cylinder Repair kits.Uploaded with ImageShack.usWill a rubber one from another model / car fit or any ideas who sells them ?

heraldcoupe Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 If you're rebuilding the slave cylinder then you'll be rebuilding the master cylinder at the same time. If not, then you should be.This will leave the (usually undamaged) old boot from the master cylinder as a spare. It will fit in place of the metal cap on the slave, though you usually have to fit the cylinder through it's mounting bracket before fitting the boot, then fit the bracket back onto the bellhousing,Cheers,Bill.
