Nice work, the engine bay looks really tidy and up together!
Cheers Rach, my clutch slave cylinder arrived today from Euro carparts as my clutch pedal is as limp as a dick.
Problem is the fecking fluid pipe that screws into the cylinder is propper welded into it so im worried it will sheer off with a spanner, have soaked it in wd40 over night will have a look tomorow.
Fingers crossed i can actually move the car at the wkend
And the new jobbie
Lets hope it comes un-done!
Cracking job on those seats, ye look like new again!
Looks like a good find there and a nice project.
Get a speed wrench, it will grip on any points it can, much better than a general spanner. That slave is the same as the 999cc uno ones and a few Alfa's aswell so should of been cheap enough, i got my clutch master from eurocarparts for about £30 about 4 years ago now.
Worse case scenario is you have to replace the clutch fluid pipe from the master to the slave, take it to a garage once off and get them to make it up out of brake pipe and use your old ends or new ones, bend to shape and fit :P
Also as you are replaceing the fluid and the slave cylinder anyway you could use Oxy/Acetylene to heat the nut up which i do occasionally do when bleed nipples are really tight, espically on vauzhall wheels cylinders as they are alloy and the steel bleed nipples like to seize in -.-
Good luck mate
Dan
Always had a soft spot for the old UNO's.
Cant wait to see how this works out
Little update on the old rot box. picked up a replacement drivers door at the weekend as lets just say mine has seen better days!
old one lol
Also while the gear box is out to sort clutch out i started to de-grease it and ready it for painting
alot better but want to do another coating of Gunk.

a solvent spray degreaser and a toothbrush will see good results on those stubborn oily bits.
Ive just ordered a can of brake cleaner and a stiff brush so will give that a whirl aswell mate.Originally Posted by Mawbster
