I need to know what slave & master cylinder for the clutch.
Citroën DS 5-speed gearbox as used on KVA. Its pre C35 (Citroën SM) but basicaly the same as used on Maserati & Lotus Esprit S1.
Bellhouse on KVA is Citroën, not Lotus Esprit. They completely differ including slave cilinder.
The Citroën slave cylinder for a diaghram clutch post '71 is a 24mm diameter ( about .950") with a stroke of max 20mm (after that, the piston goes beyond the seal).
It normaly uses LMH fluid but a Viton seal will sort that. These days aftermarket cylinders are capable for LHM & LHS ( DOT3) anyways.
Citroën system works on an complete hydraulic system anyways on very high pressure.
My Pedal box has a .700 master at the moment. These Girling masters on a general pedal box have a stroke of 30mm ( 35mm to bottom)
Clutch fork ratio is measured 2.4:1.
So If I need rule of thumb, 10mm movement on the clutch cover, I need 24mm on the other end of the fork.
Anyways, I allways thought slave cylinder needs to be smaller than master cylinder.
My gearbox is a 450BHP Citroën DS23 5speed gearbox with correct turning CWP & Quaife ATB (cause I payed for it to be).
There was no clutch slave when I bought this KVA "B" project (ex Mick Ridley).
So whats a common slave & master on KVA with this Citroën gearbox or whats recommended. Don't want to invent the wheel while its allready invented.
