What size is the clutch Master Cylinder? I might have a unused 5/8th Master in the shed somewhere.

sorry for not replying to you oldredcelicabryan, been off this project again for a while, have looked on the clutch master and cant find any measurements cast into it, will have to take it off when i get a minute and pull it to bits to measure it up just as an update, we have made a start on rebuilding the drivers side inner wing, but it is pretty bad, will try and get some pics up soon

hi Harvey, yes weve been doing a bit more rust repair made a start on the off side inner wing, got some more pics, but cant find em for a minute were a bit further on as the welding is nearly finished now, got some rusty brake pipes to replace next. and we also had it running again 2 weekends ago, need to replace the water pump as the bearings are shot, other than that it sounds pretty good more soon

bit of an update, the welding is all but a couple of small patches finished, we had the front brake calipers refurbished and bought a new slave cylinder for the clutch, also managed to un sieze the clutch master today and get a pedal, and made a start on bleeding the brakes but ran out of time, the wings are back on, as are all the front lights grille and bumper, we painted the bonnet satin matt black and re fitted that too not to long now before it goes for an mot, will get some pics up soon cheers

its hard to get a decent pic of it at the mo, but heres where were at, lookin like a car again both bumpers have been satin blacked with a rattle can and the rear light surrounds are waiting to be done but the bonnet has been done in 2k, the rest of the bodywork will be flatted off with 1200grit to give it a matt ratty look for now, new paintjob will have to wait cheers

were still chipping away at this slowly, had all the old tyres removed from the rims, then had them sandblasted, I then primed and painted them in 2k satin black, my spannermonkey gave it a quick wash today as it was covered in dust and we dropped it back on the floor as ive said before its not in the best place for a good pic, but its getting there weve had the cooling system in bits aswell for a clean out, and tested the stat only bit still not tested is the clutch, need to get some fresh petrol to put in to get running again then we shall see cheers
