Hi guys, I bought a non-turbo clutch master off Coz (CZP) who assured me that it would fit anyway to cut a long story short my car car it's currently at the mechanic to have it fitted off and I just recieved a call saying that the fluid pipe on my clutch master is on the bottom of the unit whilst the fluid pipe on this new unit is on the side..... Is it possible coz sent me the wrong unit across or is there a trick to installing this that my mechanic is missing??? Any help would be appreciated as the mechanic closes at 5:30 and I'm hoping to get this sorted today!! Cheers
Hmm I have seen many variants on the zed there are a few manufacturers, easiest/best solution is to call UAS get the braided clutch line and ask the mech to pull out all the hard pipe will obviously need to bleed it again, to the above will cost you a bit more unfortunately (guesstimate 200-300) but many people swap out the crap hard pipes for braided
Yep, get a braided clutch line. Any good hydraulic shop can make them up, don't have to buy from UAS.
Thanks for the input guys, I just spoke to my mechanic and he doesn't think a braided line is the simplest solution to this problem because of the run of line and the connection to a T-piece along the length of line?? He said best bet would be to get Coz to exchange it for the right unit. Does anybody who is familiar with this think that sounds right??
Pull the t-piece and all that crap out. Run the braided line from the master directly to the slave. Works fine.
Hell I even used a hard brake line and bent it to shape with a small braided one from rail to gearbox
Ok so judging by what everybody is saying it seems the most logical to try sort this out locally with a braided line then wait for lead times in shipping parts back to the states and waiting for new ones to arrive... I've found a forum member who can sell me the braided clutch line, can anybody chime in and let me know how hard this is to do myself? Or recommend somebody in Melbourne who can do the work for me at a reasonable price?? Cheers
Eto... Why build a Frankenstein? Part hard pipe part braid? Master to slave one pipe, shit why are you even bothering with a mechanic at all, some pizza and a slab of beer would get it done if you organised some Melb guys to come around, socket set, spammer set, screwdrivers and a angle grinder to cut the hard pipe up when it's being a bitch. It ain't hard! Man up
Chris no need to think twice about installing a one piece braided clutch line. I'm running that exact same setup on my zed. Graham installed mine for me, however he is currently overseas. Pm Alex (badxtc) as he is more than capable of doing it for you & knows plenty about zeds. Get your mechanic or even yourself or whoever installs the braided line to take off all the stock clutch hard lines completely & bin them, & install the one piece line & not worry about sending the clutch master back. The local brake & clutch warehouse made up my full length clutch line for me with extra high temp heat shield, as the one i got from UAS had the wrong end fittings. Just have a search for length & correct end fittings & get it locally made for $90 or so. Also make sure you get the full length braided clutch line & not the short length version. Abraham
