So, latest work. Weird clutch feel was actually the replacement shim in the master rebuild kit I fitted earlier this summer. Turns out it had no temper to it. I had a spare master cylinder on the shelf and replaced the shim while keeping the nearly new sesls. All feel good now. The rebuild shim looked to have been stamped from brass and not a wave spring steel job as per the original.
Master cylinder part two: so, a couple of weeks ago I went out and had smoke from under the car. Sure enough brake fluid was dripping onto the down pipe. The O ring on the brake master inlet (duel circuit nada jobbie) had failed. I felt above the pedal inside and sure enough that was bad too.
So, order the kit, pull the cylinder. Dismantle, cylinder had been reseleeved a few years back so bores were clean. Work is busy at the moment, so had to wait a while. Finally fitted today and bled the system. Go to start her and not a dicky bird. Spark is really weak. Pull dissy cap rotor and reluctor wheel (I have Lumenition Magnetronic fitted). I hadn’t routed the wires correctly, sure enough they were both worn through the insulation. I tried cutting and re soldering along with new heat shrink. But I think the damage has been done. New module ordered, I guess I’ll get it next year though. Hey ho.
