Dude ! Sweet! What is the ET on them? Did they fit at the rear with no arch mods?
-
Looks good! Do you have a picture or a sketch of this part: outer sill repair panel with nose £70 ??

I have the same Rimmer item and had a sealing issue at the slave also. I ended up having to "remove" som metal on the slave face to get the fitting to seal in the bottom conical part. No copper washer fitted. (I think some aftermarket slaves may not have have the same specs as the originals) I have since rebuilt my original slave and have no sealing issues with the braided fitting on this.

Here is a link to Andy Thompson's blog from some time ago. http://triumphwestoz.blogspot.co.uk/2009_04_01_archive.html This way you don't need the pickup points on the drag strut (as far as I can see)... I have a pair with brackets I can measure for you later today is need be.

I had the the same question in this thread http://www.triumph.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum10/Blah.pl?m-1408119645/ I ended up putting a new seal kit in the original.... I still think its doable, you might need to enlarge the hole in the bulkead the MC goes through (I think wilwood type cylinder bodies are a larger diameter than the lockheed).
-
So seals.. do I go for the cheap repro stuff or use the NOS/Branded stuff (Ebay has lots of Landrover stuff for the slave but I have only found one ebay seller with what looks like original branded master cylinder seals) I can also get repro stuff from all the usual suspects.
-
For now I will order a couple of seal kits and [s][/s]build[s][/s] bodge a pressure bleeder... ( with 3 or 4 master cylinders and 4 slaves I should be able to produce one working set) I have a resto project in the garage awaiting assembly and this will get the "girling" type mod over the winter... thanks for your input
-
Yes plenty available , as I have 3 or 4 defective ones on the shelf (the MKII version with external reservoir).. I have rebulit one already without success... A seal kit (for the original) is about 10 pounds, the item I linked to is around 25 pounds for brand new unit... So one more rebuild and I have spent almost as much as the new item would cost.

Has anyone tried fitting this type of master cylinder, in place of the original clutch master? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-Quality-Brake-Clutch-Master-Cylinder-0-625-Bore-Remote-Girling-Wilwood-type-/231044535415?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35cb53d477 I haven't had success with a hone/new seals in my original master. From the specs it seems I will have to enlarge the bulkhead hole by about 10mm, and also get a couple of fittings to connect everything up. (already have a braided hose/jic fittings in place)
-
I don't think there is a need for a washer ? Here is a picture of mine (which doesn't leak)... LHD :-)

What about welding a pair of brackets to the existing crossmember ? I have an ARB Crossmember which hasn't been fitted yet I could measure for you.. (I am in Denmark so measurements would be metric :P) -
Keep up the good work I will post up a link on the Danish Triumph Club also (that should be Denmark covered at least ;D) rgds D

Thanks Mate, when are you in the lock-up ?

Does anybody have a picture of the "original" routing of the brake pipe on the rear trailing arm... The workshop manual and parts cataloque is a bit vague.. Seems to go round the rear of the spring and then down the front face along side the hub, but I can't make out where the metal pipe clip should go.. (plastic ones in one of the holes of course) I have splashed out on copper nickel pipe and nice brass fittings so may as well make it look right :P

BigT-DK replied to jonnyk5614's topic in Drivetrain
Silly question but did you put the slave on the correct side of the mounting bracket?
