Hydraulic Rehab "Light" Kit (thru '62)
Hydraulic Rehab "Light" Kit (thru '62)
If your clutch/brake master cylinder has failed, there is a good possibility the slave will quickly follow! If you have already replaced your wheel cylinders we now offer our Hydraulic Rehab Kit in a "light" version which includes the 7/8" master cylinder with pushrod forks, and the 7/8" slave cylinder with pushrod. There are 2 different sized slave pushrods, be sure you know which one you have before you order! Slave cylinder comes cut for easier install (not pictured).
Note: The bleeder screw on the slave can sometimes come from the supplier with the bleeder screw in the forward-facing hole on the slave. This is done for shipping purposes, but is incorrect for installation, as the bleeder needs to be in the top hole to allow the air to be bled from the clutch hydraulic system properly! We generally try to swap it to the correct hole before we ship it, but sometimes we don't catch it. See the photo of the slave properly installed with the bleed screw facing upward for easy bleeding.
Installer's Note 2: Check the length of your push rods before installing the new master cylinder. 2 different lengths of push rods were used depending on the size of the bore of the master and it's impossible to know who has installed what over the years. The correct push rod length for the 7/8" master is 4 1/8". If you find your car has shorter (about 3 11/16" or so) push rods installed, we offer the longer rods for sale here.
