I have been thinking about the clutch for a while. Having machined off one of the mounting pillars to mount my gear pot, the original slave cylinder arrangement was looking a little weak! I had planned on fabricating a plate from the dry sump pump to mount the cylinder, but Paul Dobb brought a slave cylinder for me to have a look at. I had seen them on the Internet before, but didn’t want to shell out more cash not really knowing if it was going to fit, so Paul bringing one around was really good! Anyway, it all seemed to fit, even if I need to make a custom mounting kit to miss the pump, so here it is. It came from SBD and mounts to their dry sump pump also, but lots of places seem to sell similar things!

Clutch Slave Cylinder
Sunday, March 15th, 2009Drive Shafts Arrive
Sunday, March 15th, 2009Not much of a post, but I have not had time to do anything with them! But this week the driveshafts arrived from GKN. They seem to be about the right length, which is a bit of luck, and have a black anti-corrosion layer. Obviously they knew the colour scheme!! Anyway, they seem to have come in massive drill type containers!
Oil Cooler Ducting
Sunday, March 15th, 2009Continuing the theme of ally panels, I finally got around to making the oil cooler ducting. I had previously made the templates from cut up cereal boxes, but this weekend I transferred these to ally.
