TVR 280i Clutch Master Cylinder

[michelvaillant]

Hello,
I need help. I´m from Germany and I need a new clutch master cylinder for a `83er 280i as a spare part. I know LUCAS/Girling is the manufactuer, but the exact part number on the build in part is erased. Do someone know the exact part number for ordering? Thanks for your help.

Kind regards from Germany

It seems that all the export models had master and slave whereas the early UK models had a cable!

Anyway, according to the parts list there is a number for a master kit, "Lucas 1967". That would be a repair kit, not a replacement master cylinder.

Not entirely true, of the V6 engined cars the first 65 or 65 produced had an hydraulic clutch with a concentric slave cylinder. This was then replaced (around May 1980) with a cable clutch mimicing the standard Ford setup. It would appear that alos LHD Tasmins had a hydraulic clutch, I'm guessing there would be too much cable drag. The V8's had a hydraulic clutch mimicing the SD1 setup.

Anyway, Tobias, I'll try and dig out my old master cylinder to get the part number for you this evening.
