After a nice 2 hour ride in the 65 on Sunday, after the installation of
the new slave cylinder, I tried for another ride last night. I ran to
the shop ( 2 blocks away) and then back to the house. A block from the
house, I am almost out of pedal. I limp home, and Martha helps me
rebleed the clutch. With a firm pedal, I pull out into the street and
start going through gears. I get to third, no pedal, AGAIN!! This time,
I have to turn it around, and start the car in first to get it home. I
open the bonnet, and the battery is soaked in fluid. It appears the line
has ruptured along behind the heater box. I looked at the 65 parts car,
and the clutch line is a botched mess of added line and adaptors.
My question is, will the brake line from the master to the brake block
(looks about long enough) work? Are the fittings the same on the block
as on the clutch slave?
If not, does anyone have one in their spares they would be willing to
part with cheaply? or trade even?? I looked in VB and M@$$, and they
don't sell this part. Any help or valid advice will be appreciated.
