hurlbird Posted October 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 That makes sense. The servo comes with a bracket that ensures the proper angle if mounted in the bracket flat. The pictures appear to show the servo mounted straight into the bulkhead area. If i did that I would not maintain the angle. Thus i am going to create a small platform between the bulkhead and the wheel well so that bracket can mount flat and then attach the servo thus ensuring the angle. Is this necessary? thanks!

The one fitted to the yellow 6 was just bolted to the bulkhead the same way as the original brake servo on the other side with the exception of the distance piece. you wont need the mounting bracket.

hurlbird Posted October 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks.. Are you saying i do not need to solve for the angle? The bulkhead is 90 degrees so should i mount to it i would not have any angle. -John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hurlbird Posted October 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 does the orientation matter? 180 degree. your picture shows the white component on top. that matter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hurlbird Posted January 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 So i installed the whole system in his car. Finally got it to stop leaking and assumed I was all set. For a test I put vacuum to the system off the PCV line and the clutch went rock hard! the opposite of what I was expecting, making it inoperable. I assume something is connected improperly. HELP! -John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Sorry John, this does not help you, but maybe others: don‘t be fascinated by this remote „solution“, simply install a 0.625“ master and an adjustable push rod. Cheap, easy and quick to install, works lovely. Ciao, Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casar66 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Quote the clutch went rock hard! the opposite... mmh, is it possible that you have mixed the connections? Or maybe the vaccuum is too high? I am replacing my gearbox in these days and do plenty of tests. In my view the matter of a easy or hard going clutch is the type of the clutch cover. I am using a Sachs one and the plate is a AP. I can press the pedal easily by Hand. The master cylinder is a 0,7. Before that I had a Laycock cover that was a mess. Then a B&B, that was better, but the Sachs is another dimension. Very very easy to press. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is a very standard procedure. Seen it done on several cars without this problem. Maybe you have in and out reversed on the remote servo hydraulics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hurlbird Posted January 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 I have the master cylinder feeding the front of the servo, and therefore the line to the slave (clutch) is coming from the side... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
