Hey there Listers,
I'm thinking of purchasing a new Clutch Master Cylinder
to help overcome the infamous "difficulty of clutch
disengagement" problem. The holes are out of round on
both my clutch pedal and also on the actuating arm of
the clutch master cylinder.
I'm going to have the clutch pedal repaired at a
machine shop (per suggestions in the archives of this
list - using some kind of bushing to ease repair next
time). But what about the "out of round" problem on
the arm of the clutch master cylinder? I can't buy a
replacement arm, but I can buy a whole new master
cylinder. (Also, maybe I can have the shop repair the
holes on the M/C as well as the pedal)...
But the thing I'm really wondering about is whether or
not I should install a 0.75" diameter Master Cylinder
(I have a 1970 TR6, which comes with the 0.70" diameter
M/C). Since I don't see two available sizes for the
clutch Slave Cylinder, I'm thinking that Triumph
decided to put more volume into the master to reduce
the necessary clutch pedal travel a bit. Make sense?
Any suggestions or experience installing a 0.75" dia
master cylider on a TR6 year model that calls for the
0.70" diameter one?
Many Thanks,
Steve
1970 TR6, non OD.
