Our slotted slave cylinder is an exclusive!
This is the same 7/8" slave cylinder we use on all of the cars that come through our building. The reason why? Because our slave is designed with the installer in mind! Traditionally, it is difficult to remove the upper mounting bolt due to the slave mount on the bell housing being very close to the body of the car. Trying to get a wrench on the upper bolt can be challenging, and the narrow work arear gets smaller as the bolt unscrews.
Our modified slave cylinder allows you to simply loosen the top bolt then slide the slave cylinder into position under the bolt without having to remove the bolt completely from the bell housing.
This is the best slave cylinder we can get on the market (Lockheed brand), made better by our modifications! We opt to only use premium hydraulic components because they last longer than the cheap alternatives that are available. After more than 500 cars through our building, we've learned that it is not worth it to use a cheaper product and have to do the job a second time. We know this from experience, the cheaper available slave cylinders are junk. I, personally, would pay any amount of money to not have to do this job twice. I have been on my back on a creeper with hydraulic fluid running into my armpit too many times and if I can pay a little more and ensure my slave cylinder will last longer, I will do that any day of the week and I suggest you do so too!
INSTALLATION NOTE 1: 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.
INSTALLATION NOTE 2: This 7/8 slave is designed to the fit metal line and flared fitting that came standard on all Bugeyes. Some cars have been retrofit to a 1" slave that requires a flexible line. If your car is fed by a flexible rubber line (and not a rigid metal one), click here to order that type-we sell a premium version of the one inch slave as well.
