Did anyone get a Clutch m/c from Luego
As some of you know I have a old luego viento V8 that I bought as a part build. I believe the original builder bought a 'comprehensive
kit' from Luego maybe 5-6 years ago. I am struggling to identify the Clutch M/C. It's a Girling but I don't seem to be able to
find out if the threads are M10 x 1 or 3/8 unf. I of course could go out and buy bolts and screw them in but I have been reliably informed that they
will more or less screw into each other anyway but can fail under stress.
Did anyone buy a comprehensive kit form Luego around this time and have any info on this? I am leaning towards the imperial fittings myself.

Surely the master cylinder is an 'off the shelf' item, available from any factors, and I should doubt whether the thread is anything else
but metric.
If they are imperial, it must be a very old piece of kit.

Car Builder Solutions sell them - and I have other parts on the car that match CBS stuff.

IF you are unsure, then my personal thoughts on it would be to go down to your local nut and bolt specialist and get them to assess it/them. Yes you
are right about either going in, BUT, there will be a perceptable difference in the 'feel', 'tightness' and
'security' of the correct thread as it goes in, IF you can't feel the difference then your local quality bolt specialist will be
able to feel the difference.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I might do a bolt order from namrick or somewhere and get one of both and see which fits the best. Phoned the only local nut and bolt place and they
don't stock M10x 1mm. We don't really have any 'local' specialist nut and bolts around here.

Any local autoshop worth their salt should have pipe ends which I assume is what you are after. pennies for 1 for you to confirm thread size & go
from there.

How reliable is your source? 3/8" (9.4mm) is a good bit smaller than 10mm. Don't think you'll screw a 10mm male into a 3/8"
female port.

I would say that Russbost on here is 100% reliable.

Ok I dragged out the build manual given to me when I purchased my kit and it shows the m/c as having the feed in 7/16 UNF and the pressure side being
3/8 UNF

Yep me too 
However I still don't believe that a 10mm x1mm male will screw into a 3/8" unf female.

No way will a 10mm pipe nut screw into a 3/8" UNF female thread, The only 3/8" pipe nuts on my car are the ones in the master cylinders
