<p>Car model not given, but other than MGBs not having banjos at the
slave much the same as Barney. The MGB is also difficult to
bleed, many techniques have been found to work from car to car,
one of the simplest being to wedge the pedal fully down overnight
then let it up slowly next morning. That should give air bubbles
time to gather near the top of the metal pipe, which are flushed
back into the reservoir as the pedal is released. You don't say
whether fluid is being lost or not, or whether the loss of clutch
action is gradual i.e. as indicated by the biting point getting
lower and lower (test it daily at least), or is sudden. Gradual
loss when the car is being used can be from air being drawn past
seals, or from leaks, which in the MGB can run down the pedal and
be lost in the carpet as well as be external. Any fluid in the
dust cover?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve replaced the master, slave, and hose,
all from Scarborough Faire this time. Thinking I need to
maybe replace the metal tubing as well. which brings me to my
question. As opposed to the brake connection, the slave has a
banjo fitting, etc., which seems almost Rube Goldberg. Is
there any reason when I have the new tubing made not to just
skip all that and do it like the brake side? Being correct is
not a factor; having it work is!<o:p></o:p></p>
