Hydraulic clutch parts
I have a Contemporary Cobra. What are the orgins of the main and slave cylinders for the clutch?
Thanks for any help. David |
I think it may depend on who built the car and when. Mine was built in the late 80s by Don Borders and used a McLeod hydraulic throwout bearing and a mid-sixties Chev dual clutch/brake master cylinder. I replaced the McLeod with a Tilton and am replacing the master cylinder this winter.

Hey David I checked the car here now it uses a Girling master and no markings on slave though they are both different to yours. One of your masters was an NGK or similar maybe the Mazda B1600 part. I had a quick look in the manual and didn't find the suggested source but I think you have something a little different with the floor mounted master box in yours anyway. If you can decide which one looks like it's leaking just pull it and take it to a good parts store or post pics and numbers here.

Thanks guys. The manual calls for a Girling part. The car is in the shop now with it's shorts down:eek:. Hope to be cruising soon as the Hot Rod Cruise at the beach is this weekend.

Clutch parts
My Contemproary has a Girling slave cylinder, but it's not the one listed in the assembly manual. Girlings typically have a 3/4" or 7/8" bore. No one recognized the part number of the one I have. After much searching, I found the cyllinder had a 13/16" bore and repair kits are not available. I bought a new slave cylinder from Centric in CA through a local jobber. It's from a Volvo P1800, circa 1967. It fits up perfectly, although I had to shorten the push rod to make it work.

Girlings were typical back in the day- so they make sense on a replica.
