labrat Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Sorry to ask a basic question, but I lost my JTR manual and couldn't find what I need from the search... Anyway, just got a tilton 7/8" clutch master and camaro slave, and can't remember how to connect them. My thoughts... Cut off the roll pin connector thingy from the slave, tap to 3/8" NPT and use a 3/8"NTP to 3/8" flare adapter and then use 3/8" flexible brake line to connect the two pieces. I'm guessing I will also need to cut the rod a little shorter on the master and thread it back further to get the proper throw on the master. Is this correct? Thanks!

VRJoe Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Check Tim's thread about how he did it, He cut off the hose and taped the roll ipin piece for 1/8 NPT . It's here http://hybridz.org/nuke/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=31628 - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labrat Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 That's the instructions for the T56 slave, would the same method work for a T5 slave? If so, I'm bookmarking that thread... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 That's it w/o the details for the Camaro slave cylinder modification in the ?JTR manual. 1/8" NPT, thgen use3/16" (-3) hose 24" long, 1/8" NPT to -3 hose adapter, 1/8" pipe coupler and a 1/8" pipe nipple 1&1/2" long... The rest of the instructions weredisassembling and hacking the plastic housing to about 1/8" taller than the bleed screw boss........

Dan Juday Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Bill, I used the JTR method on the T5 slave with my car but I wouldn't do it again. Ron Tyler, a member here sells an adapter for about $30 that is much safer IMHO than drilling and tapping the plastic slave. It's also a bolt-on affair, much simpler and replacement parts down the road wont require customizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
