Stuart 263 Posted Tuesday at 20:15 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:15 Guys I have a 1.8 Zetec Silvertop with an MT75 gearbox in my Westy. I've been looking to source a spare concentric clutch slave cylinder. Nothing wrong with existing just for future proofing. Originally from the Ford Scorpio Mk 2 petrol and seemingly unobtainable. The diesel variant is available everywhere but the inlet and bleed are the wrong configuration. Question is could I adapt the diesel one? Is it likely to have the same bore & throw and is there enough space in there to run a feed line inside the bell housing and make a remote bleed with kunifer pipe? Or would I be looking at a gearbox change if the slave was to fail? (I think the cable clutch is a different box or perhaps bell housing?) Any experts out there?

Trevturtle 912 Posted Tuesday at 20:27 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:27 If I remember correctly the slave cylinder also has a steel spacer glued to the standard slave cylinder So you need to add that to any replacement. I know slave cylinders are hard to find but I'm sure an aftermarket one was found. I'll see if I can find a link Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1960dave 256 Posted Tuesday at 20:44 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:44 I am going to take my engine and box out in a couple of days so I can get the part number off it if that helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mowerracer74 0 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Hi, Not an expert but, I have a 65 HA viva with a black top zetec and an MT75 gearbox. I converted it to run an external slave cylinder from wilwood. If i remember i will get a photo for you when i'm up the shed on friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart 263 Posted 9 hours ago Author Share Posted 9 hours ago @Mole I emailed them today but thanks. @mowerracer74 that would be great ta. Was it an internal slave before you converted it? My second car was a 67 HA Viva. Cost me £25 and I did 30000 miles in it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
