Hi

 

Need a bit of advice.

 

Do i just run a line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder? And bleed it via the slave cylinder, as i do not have the standard hard pipe work?

 

The open pipe at the top of the master cylinder that eventually goes to the balance bar, what do i do with this? i do not have the various pipes and tanks that a tt has. Can i just block it or would i need a n/a master cylinder? any other options?

 

Thanks

i believe from having mine done (but i'm not a mechanic :) )

 

yes just run new pipe from master to slave

 

the open pipe above the master cylender is the vaccuum line for the power assist to the clutch (assume you have a TT clutch pedal and cylinders)

options are:

 

leave it open and have a heavy clutch pedal

 

use a T piece on the brake vacuum line after the non return valve. personally i believe this is what caused mine and others clutch booster to fail, but some "experts" tell me not. set up like this when it fails you also loose the power assist to the breaks

 

get hold of all the tanks and pipes and a manual TT balance barand do it properly, but i believe this is unecesary as i'm led to believe the purpose of the tanks is to "store" vacuum in case you want to drop the clutch whilst the engine is boosting ie not producing vacuum

 

get a manual TT balance bar, 2 bits of vacuum hose and a non return valve

Thanks for the info.

 

So its ok to leave the vacuum pipe open?

If this is connected to the balance bar then you will need to seal it off, i.e with small bolt and tiewrap, otherwise the car will run erratically.

No i have the auto balance bar so the engine has no open vacuum pipes. Just wanted to double check its ok to leave the one from the master cylinder, as i do not have all the vacuum tanks lines to connect to a manual balance bar.
