clutch pipe tr7 v8

[riley2456]

When I stripped the car for painting I, rather foolishly, didn't take a photo of the position/route of the hydraulic pipe that goes from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder. Does anyone have advice or, even better, a photo?

Any advice greatly appreciated

cheers

Hi Mike,

Unless you've lengthened the hydraulic pipe since removing it, I found the route almost selects itself. It's a near vertical drop and then tilt it one way or the other to clear the exhaust.

When I converted my wedge to V8 I reused the 7's existing master and slave cylinders and hydraulic pipe. The pipe's connections were rotated on the cylinders allowing me to move the pipe as far away from the r/h exhaust manifold as possible, then once happy with the position I tightened them up.

If I posted a photo of mine with its tubular manifolds, it may not be suitable for the exhaust manifold / downpipe on yours.

Thanks Adam

much appreciated.

I also have tubular manifolds so a photo would be really useful

I've had issues with Photobucket not uploading as it used to, so it's taken a while.

It's all a bit dark as it's a grimy shade of dark blue.
