Hi All.
I have just limped back home without the use of my clutch, the pedal went to the floor yesterday and after topping the master cylinder with fluid and giving it a few pumps was fine again. Thinking this was due to the slave cylinder failing I thought I would get away with another couple of weeks before topping up again but tonight it happened again and after several attempts to fill the master and bleed the pipeline it still wasn't giving any pressure, on further investigation I found that the copper pipe from the new Tazu master cylinder mod had been rubbing against the bulkhead and had finally split. I must emphasize this is not Tazu fault it was mine for not ensuring the pipe was clear of any surface that would cause disruption. My question is would it be possible to repair the pipe or is there any way to cut out the damaged section and couple the pipe with some kind of compression joints?
