I've always like the gt4 and I love a rare car but not sure I want an old car again. I hate chasing rust

But if I reduce the size of the slave surely were getting back to where we started. Never hear of or seen one. Googled in and it's not really my cup of tea mate.

Is it a gt4? i've just got it off. No so bad only took half hour measured the travel and the original is 30mm approx and the new is about 32mm. So maybe I would need closer to 40mm to make it work?

It's working but there's not enough travel. With a smaller bore master there's is less fluid moved so the slave will not travel far enough to disengage the clutch. It's a new clutch line from master to the slave. It looks clean inside the slave behind the boot and if you push it in, it comes...

I don't think its right but was doing the job before. I've got a .5 bore on there now

Ok I'll do that next week when I refit the original. There's not enough travel on this one

Is there any sort force multipler that can be installed between the original master and slave?

I have no idea how to estimate force. My leg strength isn't average so it's not a good guide. Do you work with hydraulics?

I maybe get a 1/4 inch before it gets too hard to move. I don't want to use to much force as I'm going against the thermostat housing. It's got to be a heavy clutch cover causing it

The slave looks like that. The rod just didn't look right. I think it's just to much load for the master. It' was fine till I adjusted the rod is out of alignment as it's adjusted to the end of the rod to make it work. The fork moves . The little slack there is, you can see it's not seized

It did feel lighter but I think that was just taking up all the free play. I started looking at removing the slack between slave and fork. Is this the right slave rod? Looks like a chopped up bolt. I've fitted nuts on it so the nuts sit on the edge of the piston and adjusted. It now works but...

Just an update. Fitted the new master cylinder and it doesn't work. Don't seem to have enough movement of the slave to disengage the clutch. So will have to put it back to original and maybe sell it

So found this Banjo https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150619648046 And I'll use is with this Banjo bolt https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172957362529 Can anyone see a problem with that? That should allow me to use an8 hose to push on the reservoir

That's it. I've got to try. I'm just trying to find a way of using the original reservoir, but it's a 1/2 hose and need to go down to 7/16 fittings and only a limited distance between the 2. I'm hoping I can get away with a braided line going to the slave. Thanks for your help and ideas

That is an idea, but I would prefer to fit a clevis that's made to fit. Everything I do is easily reversible if It should be put back to original. Hopefully will get an answer Monday and they sell the master cylinder too so will order both together
