Please help me ID a clutch slave (in reverse)

[captainsmelly]

I need a clutch slave cylinder, push type, 3/4 inch bore or metric equivalent.
Mounting lugs on the top, and if possible offset to the left if the pushrod is top-up, facing away from you.
Must have decent travel. Not bothered about hose fiting size as I'll be making hoses up.

Try Toyota MR2 Celica Supra Etc

Drawing a picture of what you want might be easier. Or just hunting around a breakers yard if they will let you.

Could be some rwd Toyota, Land Rover, Subaru, Nissan. Many cars do use remote slaves.

Or just go for a concentric slave instead

Concentric release bearing was my first plan. However due to my clutch and gearbox combo setup, none will fit that does not cost a few hundred pounds.

I shall upload a picture of what I'm trying to describe (poorly) when I get home later.

And I have realised that the bore can be larger then 3/4 inch, as I haven't yet fitted a master cylinder. Which may free up options.

If you can get the internals, it isnt out of the question to fabricate one.

For a skilled engineer, no it wouldn't be.

I am not a skilled engineer, by any means.

late Alfa/Fiat/Saab units are a basic cylinder shape with no flanges,they fit into a bracket with a circular hole then a big circlip holds them in.
They have a good long throw and fabricating a bracket to fit to your box would be simple.
A local engineering company could knock one up for small money or possibly strip the piston out and get someone to weld a bracket to it.

If you can find an old fashioned car parts/ accessory shop, they should have something like the "Girling/Lucas" parts book. These contain line drawings and part numbers of their hydraulic components, which might be enough to help you narrow down your search.

(in the old days, my local car accessory shop would just point me in the direction of their store shelves and say "go take a look for yourself" ;-)

Failing that, try the AP Racing on line resources

If that fails....google

And I wasnt referring to you actually making one. You could have one made if need be

[oakdale]

Have a look at the TR7 one on the Rimmer bros site, is that the sort of fitting you mean?

If I remember correctly they're 7/8" bore or something near.

Actually that looks bang on mate. Thanks

Any idea what the bore size is? I can't find it on the google.



Thanks for the help everyone, very much appreciated.

[stevieturbo]

Even if you cant get bore size exactly what you want. You can alter where the master attaches to the pedal to change the stroke at the master, and hence fluid moved.

Various options really to fine tune it.

[captainsmelly]

Yes, good point.
