Clutch Cylinder Fittings
Evening all.
Regarding the clutch cylinder / reservoir on the MX5 kit. As the cylinder has to sit offset by 30 degrees (to prevent clashing with slave) the
reservior clashes with brake fluid reservior, as I'm sure you'll be aware. What fittings have people used to relocate the reservior from
top of cylinder? Also where did you get them from?
Ideas appreciated.

Sorry Stu, I can't help on this one because my clutch cylinder kit came with a hose and remote reservoir. I can take a photo tonight for you to
show what was received with my kit. I presume it was this clash that lead to them moving the brake cylinder further from the clutch which lead to my
issue of the brake push rod retention.

Did you request a hose from them in order to relocate the reservoir? I'd expect that both kits would come with same kit based on the fact we
ordered around the same time. Unless what you ordered was an optional extra?

No, came with the hose and remote reservoir as standard.

Just fired a mail to MNR regarding this. Been bugging me for a while, never thought to ask the company.
Cheers

That reminds me, I need to fire off an email to Marc to check that his brake master cylinder retention plan keeps the MX-5 master cylinder in the same
place. I've only got to fit timing belt and clutch to the engine, and a few seals to the gearbox and diff and I've run out of other things
to do before I need to get cracking on the car itself.

Mine also came with a remote reservoir etc. I collected the kit at the end of January. According to marc, there's approximately a 3 week wait
for the pushrods to be finished for the master cylinder, but he's made me aware that it should be accessible with the bodywork on as I've
also ran out of things to do.

Thanks for that update Tom, that's just the news I wanted to hear. I didn't want to bother them too much with their recent issues with the
phones and the internet connection
