Keyser Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Chris, are you sure the hose isn't the wrong way round? part 2 to connect to the slave instead of part 1? pictures are not that clear of the pipe setup Yes mate, Hose 2 is only 6 inches long and is the bleed line hose one is long enough (just as it's from a LHD kit) to go to the new master cylinder and has a banjo connector fitted to connect to it. Also the new kit has a push and clip connector with rubber O ring both the ones on the box are threaded so it's just different fitments, hopefully I can get a couple of adapters to do the conversion. 2 Quote

Ok cool, I wasn't doubting you, just wasn't clear in the pictures, sure you will get something fabricated 1 Quote

Keyser Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Evening all and Wasso So went down to see the boys at Thread and Pipe - we sort have got a solution 50% seems good the other bit did not quite work out so I did a bit of fabricating, This is what I have It is basically a very long bleed nipple, it needs to be remote to allow clutch bleeding after the LS and box goes in the 350 so ..... i cut the end off Drilled it out Then welded the new adapter from Thread and Pipe onto the end Drilled the other end out so it is no longer a bleed valve but now just an extension pipe Cleaned it up bit of paint That's pipe 1 ready - Onto pipe 2 as made by the boys Bent to shape All installed - Inside the box coupled to new braided lines Then I pulled the dash apart and the wiper covers came out All to get at this Got it out ready to modify the replacement Wilwood with some of the stock parts More soon(ish) 1 Quote
Wasso Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 BRAVO!! can I put a request in? See that white cable, you can pull that out hopefully. Was my old iPhone 4 extension Looking great so far matey. Will mail Phoenix in the morning. Quote

bizz Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Arr this takes me back coming on nicely guys. Like your bleed nipple idea for the clutch. I went down a slightly different route and banjo'd straight onto the slave. Makes bleeding it soooo much easier Keep it up 1 Quote

Keyser Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Good evening, Good evening, Good evening - No update last night as I was playing on Hissing SID (my 370z for anyone that didn't know) But tonight I had a play on Suzi So to start I finished the braided line on the clutch slave, just neatened up the outlet, Then onto the work bench with the rest of the Sikky clutch upgrade kit and the previously removed 350 master cylinder, (and very important cup of coffee) First I took a measurement 11cm from the face to the center of the pin (noted that down) then you have to strip both down a bit Done (and some coffee drunk) Assemble the Wilwood cylinder with parts from the 350 cylinder Done Adjust to the previously noted 11cm on centre Tighten up, re-join the reservoir with the supplied pipe and adapter Done jobs a good un (coffee finished ) Bolt it into the car what a PITA that is! Then realise the kit won't fit properly - normal for modifications like this, so I "modified" Suzi's body work a bit a slight stretch to allow the banjo bolt space to fit - like so - Finished job looks like this, Edited January 22, 2015 by Keyser 1 Quote
