Clutch slave cylinder questions (4.0 petrol/R380)

Hi All,

I finally got my slave cylinder in the mail today. I rushed home to install it; it was a little different than the one that was on there (I suspect it was not correct). I bolted it up and it fits just fine.

I went to attach the hydraulic line and noticed that the compression fitting was much smaller than the hole. The threads are worn, so I'm hoping that this little bit of pipe is wrong and can be replaced easily.

Some questions:

1) What's the difference between a FTC5072 and a FTC5071 slave? I've ordered a FTC5072 and think it's correct.

2) Are these compression fittings of different sizes from vehicle to vehicle and application to application? Or is mine just worn out? I'm trying to get a part number for this bit, but not having much luck -- most diagrams don't show it...

Thanks!

FTC5072 is for R380 boxes, FTC5071 is for V8 LT77.

As far as I know the fittings are the same but the pipes are different

NRC9595 Clutch Pipe Slave Cylinder 90/110 4 Cyl £8.34 inc VAT

577643 Fixed Pipe Clutch Master Cyl Series III/Defender V8 £3.41 inc VAT

and the Td5/R380 one which I don't have a current price on (Genuine only)

Don't know what does what by part number nut clutch systems tended to be

7/16"unf in everything ( even a lot of Jap stuff ) but then suddenly just to be bloody awkward along came the M12 ones!!!!

A 7/16" tube nut wiggle wiggle into a M12 hole - does that seem to be the case or is it so much smaller it could be M10 / 3/8"unf?

If I was you I would buy a lovely stainless braid clutch hose from me that rund straight from the master into the slave cylinder in one go - I could then supply it with adaptors for both threads into the slave... Then again I'm biased - so please feel free to buy whatever you want from whoever you want !!!

Perfect! I finally found the part, but it's 2 weeks to order it here in the US.

I ran down to a local place that does engineering for race cars and they made up the braided steel hose with pretty fittings on either end. Mind, it was $25 versus the $4 for the Rover bit, but I'll be driving this weekend instead of two weeks from now!

Thanks for the advice!

Don't moan about 25 dollars for the hose!!! Most of the fittings I sell come in from the States ( XRP ) and by the time we have paid the duty and then paid the various profits and taxes along the way that sort of hose would have cost you nearer 50 dollars over here!!!

Just thank God you live in a country where tha car is catered for in a sensible market rather than in a country where the car and anyone who drives one is fair game to rip off !!

Stop your moaning David - emigrate here to NZ if you want outrageous prices for car parts!
