Master Cylinder for Saab Slave
Can anyone tell me what master I should be using with a Saab concentric clutch slave? If important, I am using floor-mounted pedals from Tilton
Engineering (part #72-680). I will be using a Tilton 75 series master, but am unsure of the correct bore. For reference, see:
Tilton
Go to Products > Brake > Pedal Assemblies > 600-Series Pedal Assemblies for fix mounted master cylinders > Floor Mount > 3 Pedal 3
cyl
There are technical drawings there, as well.
Thanks,
Shaun

it will fit over a type 9 input, yes, but you need to make/buy an adaptor.
I made this one:

yep,
bolts to the 4 bolts that hold the "trumpet" onto the front of the std type 9 box.
I machined off the long release bearing sleeve on the trumpet, then machined a decent register onto the stub left behind, then turned a lump of ally
to sit on that register, then concentrically tidied the whole lot up, then bored a hole in the front to locate the saab cylinder and retain the rear
of the piston, then drilled it all to fit the 4 holes on the box and the 3 on the cylinder.
alternatively you can buy them from burton I think

No problem -- I haven't ordered yet. One of the few times that the 8-hour time difference came in handy!
One problem, though. I ha been told that my setup was from a Saab, but it looks different than the picture that you show.
Can anyone help me identify what I have? It was re-sold by a dealer in the USA, but was apparently made by Titan. You can see the slave here:

Thanks for the help!

Yours looks very similar to mine - Photo
Which is similar to the ones that Burtons sell - Photo
They also sell adaptors - https://www.burtonpower.com (Transmission & Clutch - Clutch Components - Hydraulic)
I adapted an aluminium spacer ring to suit.
Cheers,

Hi,the release bearing looks like a SAAB but the slave definately is aftermarket as has been said.
The SAAB fits both the type 9 Ford and T50 Toyota easily and adaptors are easily machined or bought for both.
I agree with NSDev as I also use a 7/8" master with floor mounted pedals,plenty of travel and its easy to push.

Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

CairB,
Yours does look very similar. Do you know that origin? Apparently, mine was made by Titan. Also, what MC are you using?
Hmmm, so far, we have a 7/8" and a 3/4". Still not sure...
Thanks for any more input.
Shaun

Either will do the trick, 7/8" will give a slightly stiffer pedal, 3/4" will have a slightly longer travel, either will work.

Thanks to everyone for all the info. One other question: I am assuming that the bleed line should be the one exiting straight up from the slave?
Thanks,
Shaun
