Markus Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 As part of my TR6 "freshen up" I decided to fit a new clutch master cylinder and boot. Rimmers supplied both as ordered but upon fitting the shiny new cylinder the existing pipe fitting is too small and just drops into the threaded port. Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, how did you rectify the issue? An adaptor perhaps? On another note and I'm sure this is common, what is the best way to get the dreaded rubber clevis boot to fit into the bulkhead and seal properly? I've tried several times over the years without success. Help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Hi Markus, yes ive seen many master cylinders with an adaptor between pipe and cylinder . Always thought I was missing something. Should be available from usual suppliers. As for the boot I’m trying to fit mine,just when you think it’s in out it comes. Left it till I have a little more patience :). Mark Edited January 20, 2019 by Mark69 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Markus Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks Mark and Sean. Does anyone know the p/n for the adaptor? I have a cunning plan for the boot. We're having a spot of rather "warm" weather here at the moment so a little sun baking for the boot at gas mark "HOT" and then when well lubricated (me, not the boot) I'll shove it in and hope for the best! What could possibly go wrong? Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rogcastle Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi Marcus I bought a new MC last year from Rimmer and it came with the adapter. I would go back to Rimmer and get them to send it you its their fault Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubehopper Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Regarding the boot, I`ve tried numerous ones from different suppliers over the years and never had one that fits. They all seem to have not enough depth. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel A Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I’ve had a new one sitting in the garage for the last five years, one day I’ll get around to replacing the split one! Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markus Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks for your advice. Just emailed Rimmers so we'll see. Cheers! Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
