I highly recommend using a skateboard to aid in the process, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to piss that hard line off and run braided hose from the res to the pedal and pedal to the slave, has anyone done it before? The spacer the old man made last night, 2mm sheet aluminium. 112mm diameter with a 38mm inside cut out to fit shaft and clear the chamfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the specs enough to know if you could knock one up at your local enzed/pirtek/etc. let us know how the gear selection goes. mounted that plate under the CSC? slick bit of kit, definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 11y 3m 12d Posted 04/05/16 01:54 PM Share Posted 04/05/16 01:54 PM sh*t that little thing is expensive. I just took the standard end out of the plastic line cut the barb off and welded a 1/4 olive clamp fitting (dunno what you call it really it's just a stainless line end.) then used another one to screw into the slave, slave should have 1/8npt thread. Found a flexible hydraulic line at work with 1/4 barb type ends that I could put straight into the olive fitting. Total cost of $0. Making custom components FTW. Here is a pick of my setup if you zoom in you will see the fitting that I tig welded together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thinking the 2mm spacer wasn't enough. I can engage reverse better, but once in gear, clutch completely in, the car still creeps backwards. Throw another 2mm spacer in it?
