Clutch cylinder rubbers
I see NOS clutch (slave) cylinder seals are available on the Ebay for around a tenner. I'm not sure I trust 20 y/o rubber parts, though, and that also seems a bit steep for what they are. Are there any alternatives? Are the rubbers interchangeable with those from any other car/model?

Re: Clutch cylinder rubbers
Alternatively, has anyone fitted a set recently and had them work fine?

Re: Clutch cylinder rubbers
Hmm. My clutch cylinder says LB06MZ042AD on it, which Google says is a TF part. Does that mean it's been replaced at some point? Does it take the same seals?

Re: Clutch cylinder rubbers
I ordered mine from dimmers and they were absolutely fine, not very expensive either
As for the differing part numbers I couldn't tell you I know that the earlier models had a clutch damper fitted and the newer ones don't but as far as I know they used the same master and slave cylinders throughout

Re: Clutch cylinder rubbers
I doubt that the parts will be 20 years old if bought from an Xpart Centre such as Rimmers, as with anything from eBay it there will be a touch of pot-luck.

Re: Clutch cylinder rubbers
Thanks, I ordered from Rimmers in the end, hopefully they'll be here soon enough to drive the car in this weather
Anyway, that explains why I was having so much trouble bleeding the clutch, huh?
