derdup Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 The metal cap (dust cover retainer) on my clutch slave cylinder was a right-royal pain to remove - a common scenario I believe. I read somewhere that a 'plastic' alternative was at one time available as a replacement option.Can anyone here confirm that for me?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkuser Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Sounds like you are referring to the master cylinder.If so back plastic ones are used on aftermarket ones made by PBR in Australia but I don't know what is available in your area.

Zendervision Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 No, I think derdup's referring to part no. 15 on this diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkuser Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Sorry about that.Not familiar with that design of slave cylinder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derdup Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thanks Zendervision. Yep, part No. 15 is the beast in question.If I have to, I'll re-assemble using the original end cap, but I have to say I wish the good folks at Triumph had thought better of this particular design :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendervision Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I attempted to remove mine, but it wasn't going to come off without being wrecked. So I left it alone. For a while I was worried about how bodged it looked having a chewed up metal bit on the end of the slave cylinder... then I had to hack a chunk out of the casing to make my new clutch work. It didn't look so bad after that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
