Pic of 4G OEM clutch master cylinder?

Post by **Merlin** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 10:20 am

Does anyone have or could get me a pic of the 4G OEM clutch master cylinder? Specifically how it attaches with the line that goes to the dampener/slave?

I have a braided line that replaces most of this. I want to know if I can get a new OEM banjo bolt for the MC or if the OEM setup uses a threaded hose that attaches to the MC.

Many thanks.

Scratch that, I can see that it does not use a banjo bolt:

Had taken the pics anyway (car just outside

) and may help with your machinations over whether to use plain line and in-line connector to flexi...
Master Cylinder;

Rest of line, back to damper;

(That's it coming up just on the far rhs of the pic, to a P clip just under the distributor and then back down the side of the bellhousing)

So could, if you wanted to, use an oem fixed line, and mount/clamp the inline flexi connection to the box where the damper used to sit?
Could maybe even just strip the guts out of the damper and retain the body to use as the connector???
EDIT: Scratch that... No. 22 isn't even the damper anyway is it (that's No. 37). No. 22 is just an expensive cast connector.
So if you don't want to buy a new braided hose with in-line connector, just refit oem hard line and No.22 and take your existing flexi direct to that, job done?

That is your slave

I run a full braided line from the MC to the slave, all the dampener gubbins went in the bin years ago

I only just found these pics, they didnt make their way over from PUK.

Yep sorry, course it is...
I did say I was having a fuzzy head day!!!

Theory still the same though

if you put back the oem slave pipe and No.22 and swapped your existing pipe round (so the pipe end went on the master cylinder) the banjo end would go straight on No.22?

I don't have any of my old bits left. If my new banjo bolts do not work (they should do as I have a new MC only installed the other month) I think the easiest thing would be is to get a company to make a new line made up. Someone was talking about doing it on the forum already.

From what I have read this morning the MC takes an M12 x 1.0 fitting while the slave is M10 x 1.0
