I was so enamoured with the clutch setup on the 75 that I bought an auto! This was after I strained both my back and my left knee whilst trying to sort the master cylinder out! They should have put it where Mr Haynes says it is!

1) Cut the old slave pipes where shown. 2) Join them together like this (yellow rectangle represents a fitting): The question is, what fitting? Those SC pipes are 6.1mm outside diameter so the brake pipe fittings I've already got won't do it (they're for 4.76mm outside diameter). PS. I think post 58 here might be FrenchMike's original post on the reverse bleed method. I can't find a post where he's cannibalised the old slave to make a bleed nipple-to-gold connector pipe. |

See post 2 here - https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=250908. Those are metal pipes on his so it doesn't help much re joining my old plastic ones. |

.... and push the metal nipple fitting into the plastic pipe on this (having cut it square first): It might work if I dunk the pipe in boiling water for five minutes. |

Yes Brian labelled all his home made items as being Frabtel. Not sure of the origin though.
