Hi,
My Ol Chaps 500 Griff hasnt moved for 6 months, now he has no clutch and a pool of fluid on the floor.
My guess is the slave cylinder, but i havnt had a chance as yet to crawl underneath for a look.
Can anyone tell me what make and model the slave cylinder is from??
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks.

Lockheed 99364. Should be available from most brake suppliers who deal in classics such as www.powertrackbrakes.co.uk/

From recent experience with Al's (Burriana's) Griff, it may not be the slave cylinder thats at fault!
Check that the hydraulic pipe to the slave cylinder isn't fractured. If it was a small crack, the fluid would leak out over time and leave you with no clutch. Try bleeding the system first and see where the fluid is coming from. The routing and securing of the pipe is very poor and must surely be prone to frequent fracture, particularly at the connection to the cylinder.
