The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

I have just purchased one of the clubs Clutch hoses,and I need a bit of guidance.
I noticed that only one end of the hose has a 90 degree bend-unlike the original hose which has one on each end.
Do I fit the 90 degree bend to the Master cylinder,or the slave cylinder?
What would people recommend?

Which model of car to you have, Tony?


Ian.

It looks as if you have been sent the 'prototype' hose! Once I'd approved the length was sufficient for all models, I asked for all subsequent ones made to have a right angle at both ends to avoid exactly this confusion. You will need to fit the right angled end of the one you have to the master cylinder, else it may not clear the bulkhead.

Thanks,I have a Sprint.The prototype hose will be returned,in exchange for a production one!

There's nothing wrong with the prototype, which is why I put it in inverted commas earlier, and was happy enough to put it into stock. On a Sprint, you'll actually find it easier to bleed the slave with the straight end, as indeed had the original equipment, but as the exercise was to have a single product for all models the rest had an elbow to both ends.
