Re: Clutch and brake master cylinders

Thanks all of you, for confirming this is probably the worst job on the car🥴

Clutch and brake master cylinders

I need to rebuild both master cylinders.
Is it easier to fight the wiring harnesses, or remove the Dash ?

I don’t have the cloud codes on the red wires, it’s why I opened up the terminal block on the unit.

Installing a Dinoplex

I’m putting a new Dinoplex in my car. It had an MDS 5 in it before. I’ve got all the wires to the coil and distributor correctly hooked up. I took the wiring distributor on the Dinoplex off and double checked. The MDS 5 had a wire run from the ignition switch. I hooked this to the power in on the un...

Re: Source for correct braided rubber hose for brake reservoir.

Another question, is the original white or yellow. Mine where yellow!

Re: 2.0 cam clearance buckets

Thanks Stephan didn’t realize the cam wear would be greater. So many engines I’ve owned had the shim on top arrangement.

2.0 cam clearance buckets

Hi all,
My engine (chassis 665) has the 8mm shim under bucket adjustment.

Re: Coupe 2000 brakes

The brake system on the 2.0 cars is very good for its time. 4 wheel ventilated discs in that era was almost unheard of. Add to that the light weight of the Spider it was a good system. Not quite as good for the heavier Coupe. As stated earlier the vacuum is pulled from the inlet manifold thru a one ...
