Griffith clutch hydraulics

[Colin RedGriff]

Went to get the Griff (500) out of the garage today and the clutch is biting very low down.

I suspect there is a problem with the hydraulics so looking for a master and slave seal repair kit. Anyone know the part numbers or where I can get them?

Checked on a few of the usual suspects but they only have complete cylinders not the repair kits. Would rather get the repair kits as it's a simple enough job to do once they are out

Purchased a seal kit from e-bay a few years ago. Just make sure that the cylinder bore is not scored.

The same guy is still advertising today, item number is 370305487761

Thanks - saw that so will probably order that, just need a slave kit

If its any use that master can be re-sealed in situ takes about 40 minutes inc bleeding,i have sold 1 kit to a fellow Tivver and it worked out just fine,agree with the above you have to make sure the bore is not scored,i have done 2 Tivs at work at work this way also and had no problems in fact mine was the 1st carried out like this over 3 years ago and no leaks since not bad for a tenner outlay and a drop of Dot4 that Ebay kit listed above is cheaper than i can get them for and its the correct part too

Thanks - master kit ordered.

Any idea where I can get a slave kit from or a part number? Griff Pages doesn't seem to have any reference.

New slave cylinder is not expensive, seemed a the easier route to me. Not had to do the master yet but can see that may be better done in place.

try Neil at tvr car parts, I replaced the whole master cylinder a while ago, I think it cost me around £50.

Agree here,its easy to change the slave unlike the master
