Please Help ID Clutch Slave

[Dave Bilyk]

When I got back from Santa Pod, I noted the clutch fluid level had gone down a little, and detected a leak at the slave cylinder.
Since it didn't have an end boot, and there is plenty rust colour in the fluid, I may need a replacement unit rather than just seals.
Please can anyone ID this for me?
Numbers on the casting 8 XF 065 313205
The Transaxle is a Renault UN1 mated to a 302.

thanks
Dave

Chris Cole can supply these, also modified version sleeved down to 22mm bore for longer travel, Frank

Dave, I've got the renault part number somewhere if you want me to dig it out.

Thanks Andy, Frank.

Frank, the car came with a 1" master, and I could just about hold the clutch pedal in for a couple of seconds before muscle cramp set in. Bernard from France kindly gave me a 15/16" master which has made a surprising difference. I guess that the 22mm sleeved version would be suited to a smaller master cylinder than mine.

Dave

Thanks Paul,
I'll give you a shout if I need it.
Well done times at Santa Pod btw

Dave, I was saying that chris do's a sleeved version of the SLAVE cylinder to 22mm, Frank

 

[Dave Bilyk]

Frank,
sorry I didn't put it better. I understood that you meant slave, I was just thinking out loud that the 22mm sleeved slave would not be compatible with my 15/16" master given the fact that I could not tolerate a higher pedal force than I have now.

regards
Dave

OK Dave, just trying to help, Frank

I appreciate it Frank, and lost we would be without your help and generosity:thumbsup:

So far I learnt that a replacement slave is about 120 notes plus vat:shocked: (Eddie Walkers), but they had a good picture which confirmed it looks exactly like Renault 21 T. The cyl bore is not too bad, but the seal is well worn and misshapen, so if I can get a seal kit I'll try that first.
Left message on Chris Coles answer phone yesterday and today, and also on Renault Turbo Spares, but they must be busy, maybe I should try email.
I note that the Delorean Motor Company site (am I dreaming) advertises a new slave cyl for $69, which is more like it.

I found and lost a seal kit somewhere which I am trying to find again.
Anyone have seal kit supplier and details?

Dave

Dave, I think I have a standard piston and seal ( 28mm) which was removed when I sleeved a cylinder to 22mm. If I can find it its yours for the postage. Frank

 

[Dave Bilyk]

Cheers Frank, if you do find it let me know and I'll give you my address and transfer postage.

Chris Cole is just today back off holiday, and kindly phoned me 5 mins ago, he will post a seal kit to me tomorrow.

SpecialTAuto in Texas sells new, regular rebuilt, and stainless steel sleeved rebuilt Renault slave cylinders.

He also sells seal kits for the new and old style Renault slave pistons.

The stainless sleeved slave is about $90 and comes with a lifetime warranty. Probably the best long term option.

SpecialTAuto requires either a core charge or your core returned.

DMC sells new Renault slave cylinders and does not require the core.
