I was looking to bleed the system and I do not see an external slave...yet. I was reading about the internal units, and I see these items. Is the larger AN fitting a bleed port (red)? The green line goes into the bell housing.
Is this the internal clutch slave bleeder on an early SPF?

Thanks!
Yes, probably the bleeder of a coaxial hydraulic throw out bearing. It is a very efficient slave cylinder.

It is much larger bleed screw than I would have thought. I will give it a try. Thanks
its probably larger than the brake one as the pipe dia is normally larger for the clutch compared to brakes as you are shifring large quatities of fluid compared to brakes.

Got it...makes sense!

The clutch and rear brake hard lines on the SPF are exactly the same size.
Got it done, I think. It was a pain as it was a loose hose with the bleed fitting that barely poked through the bell housing. Getting a larger wrench needed to counter the bleeder wrench was a challenge, otherwise the bleed threads let too much air in even at 1/4 turn.
Is there a preferred thread filler for brake fluid bleeder threads? Next time I will need to do that to minimize air leakage while bleeding.

Sounds good. Thanks!

Glad you got it done Mike.
Me too Lee! Thank you. One more step towards driving it, I hope...fingers crossed.
I am thinking the AC system is the next issue I have...we shall see.

Take off the side windows and drive that car Mike!
Lol, once I get some help to put the front end back on I will give it a go!
