Clutch master and slave cylinders

Post by Tudor Cudd »

Greetings all
I have recently bought a 1983 air cooled, petrol, t25 (at long last). Having searched this forum I have found the combined experience of you all has given me the confidence to tackle the many jobs I expect to undertake on " Nesbitt" in the future. The first is to replace the clutch master cylinder (leaking fluid) and having looked underneath the bus today I suspect the slave cylinder will require replacing. The explanations given on the forum are excellent but can anyone offer an opinion on which make to purchase. I have looked at various manufacturers with varying prices and presumably qualities. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

:D

if you can take the slave bracket off the gearbox and get the two nuts weled on to it, makes changing the slave cylinder in the futer loads easier!
