Bruce:
My experience is that the best course of action is to carefully
rebuild your existing slave.
I tried to go the "new" route, but was frustrated with that
plan. The first slave that my local LBC mechanic got for me (from Moss,
BTW) would not fit through the mounting plate, because the cylinder was
flared where the line and bleed nipple attached. I returned it, and
reordered. The second one arrived with the machining on the wrong side
of the mounting ears, so I returned that one. I borrowed a small bottle
brush hone, and honed my existing slave, then installed all new seals. 2
years later it is still working great. (I am running DOT 5 fluid).

Subject: Where did my clutch fluid go?
I have the same symptons as previous thread on this topic. Following
Irv
korey's experience I removecd the slave cylinder rubber end cap and the
missing fluid drained out. I just overhauled clutch mechanicals, so I
guess
it overwhelmed a tired slave cylinder. I installed a .75 bore master
cylinder a few years ago and a ss flexible hose.
The slave has been rebuilt
as least once, about 5 years ago, so its likely time for a fresh one.
What's
the quality product nowadays, is Lockheed the choice?
Thank you,
