Bulk head brake clutch connection - transition block?
Discussion
Hi
Hi all
So next question!
When we took the body off the brake pipes into the baulk head had been tightened up so much that they would not undo using an open or brake spanner, so the lines were cut not the end of the world with a complete strip as replacing anyway
So 2 of the 3 nuts have come out of the block but the last has failed and sheared off leaving the remains (brass nut and copper tube) in the block, so questions are
What is this connection is it a transition piece block from the master cylinder splitting the feeds into 3?
Any suggestions to get this out without stripping it away and having to take apart the pedal box etc.? use a stud extractor….
Thanks in advance

The block is used to connect the hydraulic pipework coming from the brake master cylinder (three lines - two forward and one rear) and clutch master cylinder (one line) on to the systems within the engine bay.
The other side of the block can be accessed from within the footwell. Remove the seat and steering wheel, lay on your back head first along the footwell and you will see it above the pedals.
Undo the pipe unions on this side, remove the four block securing bolts on the engine bay side and remove the block from the footwell side. It should be held in with sealant to prevent water ingress.
New blocks are available. Got mine from Racetech.
I replaced the footwell pipework (don't tighten the unions yet) on to the new block first before securing it to the inner wing bulkhead with the four bolts and sealant. Once the block is in place then finally tighten the footwell pipework unions. Not the most accessible of jobs but achievable.
