[Tigers] Clutch Hydraulics

[John Crawley]

Thanks Theo . . . your approach is just what I need  find out WHY the clutch
is heavy! My mindset was to buy the new parts now so that when my car comes
out of its winter hibernation I will be ready to fix it.  I can not access the
car easily until the snow melts but my first job will be to determine what
diameter of cylinders are presently on the car.

And Owain thanks to you as well. I was not aware of the Tilton products at
all. I believe that they are locally available through a speed shop so once I
determine what I need I will be able to get up and running with little delay.

Sandy . . . I have looked at the range of products made by Tilton and it would
appear that they have a solution to almost any offbeat application. Good to
know the difference between the 74 and 75/76 series as it was not clear on the
web site I was looking at.

Thaks all

75/76 Series which I have on another project in the works and they are a more
compact version with the same specs just more compact (shorter mainly). The
only downside I have found is if you use the top mount reservoir it has to be
a smaller one. I will get these in my Tiger with some new pedals with the
balance bar at some point...
