Viento Clutch Hose
simonk - 9/5/08 at 03:11 PM

Hello all

Anyone out there bought a hose to go from the clutch master to the slave on an LT77 ? If so could you please let me know how long it was and who made it up for you ?

Thank all
Simon

Can't help on the length, but if you can tell me what fittings/ends you require & establish a length i can make it up for you. HTH

As above, it will depend on the ends.
I believe the slave cylinder (mine) is M12 x 1.
However it will depnds on what Master Cylinder you have.
Mine is off a Series 3 Landrover (£9 from Paddock spares new). However, this gives me an Imperial thread that end.

I just ran a bit of brake pipe to a point near the engine mount fitted it to a bracket with a metric hose fitting. Used a Fiesta rear brake hose (metric both ends) to bridge the gap to another bracket on the engine, then another bit of brake pipe to an adapto (from Rally Design) to terminate the brake pipe into the slave cylinder.

I could have done all that with a nice shiny stainless flexihose, but at a price.

Mines a cheap fix, and cost me an adaptor, and a bit of time with the pipe flaring tool.

Whatever you do, you will neeed to know what threads and type of receptacle is on each end so you can get the right bits. The rest is just pipe / flexi.

Just my 2d worth.
