Hi guys,

 

Im busy putting my zed back together, but ive forgotten how the clutch booster pipe work and reservoir goes...

 

Dont suppose any one knows of a diagram or has a photo...

 

When I converted my 1st zed I worked it all out but I've gone brain dead lol.

 

Any help appreciated....

No one know either lol....looks like I'll have to work it out again....

I couldn't work out where they went when I converted mate. Just ended up using a non return valve in some pipe direct from the balance bar to the booster and doing away with the res tanks. Haven't had any problems and the clutch is still very light :)

Clutch booster vacuum pipe comes from the extra little conncection on the offside end of the balance bar if it's off a manual version bar.

 

Or you can use a T piece with an auto balance bar and split it from the brake vacuum line that comes off the rear side of the same end of the balance bar

 

That's as much as I know :)

 

Sorry I am not an expert but seeing as no one else answered yet....

As dicky said it literally just connects to the balance bar or the brake vac line. You must fit a one way valve though.

Why isnt this a more common delete??? Especially for the clean-n-tidy bay crew?

Because there are some downsides, it seems to create earlier failure to the Clutch servo itself. Its felt that using a longer length of pipe or at least one vac tank will help to prolong its life.

Also you may still be slightly on boost when you drop the clutch. Therefore without a tank you can get different amounts of assist each time you use the clutch.

 

Also some people who have deleted it report a pulsing, which was rectified by extending the length of the pipe

It's been a little while now, any issues yet? (just curious as I may do the delete)
