BDR slave cylinder failure

Speedysnake,

I love your set up. It keeps the slave clear of contact with the engine where it is getting a lot of heat. I could not tell from your picture exactly where you have attached your slave. If your picture was only a few more inches to the left.

But in reality I think re-routing the line and shielding the master helps the most.

Jay,

I mounted my home made bracket on the rear capscrew on the motor side (top) of the motor mount. This keeps the slave cylinder moving with the motor, not attached to the frame. It also allows the cyl. to "float" between the heim joint at the front and the clutch arm in the rear. This eliminates any binding of the piston / rod in the cylinder. I agree, the heat problem is a serious issue, so I made a "better" heat shield.

Speedy,
Now that your describe it I see where it it connected. What is it made from?
It looks like 1/4 inch steel.
