Brake and Clutch Cylinders
Anyone have any pictures have they have done theirs? I've got the pedals and cylinders in - not sure how to mount the reservoirs. They are Luego
bits from a couple years back. Thanks,

The dual reservoir will connect to the brake m/c's via rubber pipes and a short piece of copper pipe at the m/c end. The single will screw
direct to the m/c.
The brake pipes go in the rear hole (yellow dust cover) closest to the footwell panels and the reservoirs go in the front holes.

reservoir mount
reservoir mounted and at the bottom you can just make out the pipes.
unfortunately I have not finalised/finished clutch reservoir location/mounting yet.

That looks fine to me.
I mounted mine in the same position.
Clutch is an integral reservior (Land Rover Series 3, clutch M/Cyl. with an Imperial threaded saddle clamp from Europa. total cost about £11. m/cyl
from paddockspares.com,
I also made that section of the decking removeable so I can get at the pedals a bit more easily. They are a PIG to get at once all the panels are on.
Hence using the rivnuts.
Pictures in my archive of the split deck.
Already had to use it once. I could have made it easier to get out as I have to loosen most of the scuttle to get the removeable section out.
Believe me its worth doing, if you are keeping the car.

Is fuel line hose good enough or is a special hose to connect to cylinder?

Special hoses I'm afraid. You will need to prove that the hoses are fit/suitable for use. I used fiat punto hoses, about a fiver each.

with your cylinders in line did you find that you could get all the pedals lined up correctly? I had to fit a spacer between the cylnder and the
bulkhead to get the clutch pedal in line. I couldn't cut the cyliner rod short enough due to the fact that it has a rolled thread. I think the
spacer is about 12mm.
thanks

At the mo pedals are not lined up (I think), but I've not finished the clutch set up (YET).

Anyone got an online source for the cables? I don't think I got any with my kit.

Excellent! Thank you.
Any idea on the name of the pedal box. Model number or anything? Thanks again.
