- I just cleaned brake fluid off my left pants cuff. You see, I drive a Spitfire. I hadn't had to do it in a while, because the last time I "redid" the clutch, I honed the master and slave cylinders ou

- Magic! That's two of the great mysteries of life. Not likely. A leak is a leak and changing the type of fluid isn't going to correct the cause of the leak itself. I'd suggest going to a brand new un

- There is an advanced microprocessor engine signature comparing unit built in to the system :-) The clutch cylinder is made of some cheapo metal that starts wearing out almost immediately it comes in

- Tim Drabik asks about the Spitfire clutch cylinder. Does it know it is in a Spitfire? Maybe, from the frequency with which you depress it. I suppose it just gets depressed, then quits. What it needs

- Tim I don't think honeing out the master cylinder is the done thing. If you increase bore size, you must also increase piston and seal size. If not surely the fluid will have a larger gap to creep pa

- The other thing to realize is that Girling aluminum alloy cylinders really don't take well to honing and rebuilding; I've gone through the same exercise on my TR, with similar results. My clutch m/c

- I used to have poor luck rebuilding the girling cylinders. My bain was the clutch slave cylinder on the Land Rover. It faced down & wouldn't keep fluid in longer than 6 months. I would carefully clea
