What's a "pig-tail"?...

Ive read nothing but good things about this so when the master becomes available I will purchase both then just need the best clutch kit itself.

I take it you mean slave?
I'll be supplying it with the Borg clutch kits - I still believe they're the best out there for our cars.

It a curly thing on the rear end of a pig

Seriously....

If you take a pipe or cable from a fixed object into/ onto another object which has some movement, the correct way to do it would be - rather than taking the pipe direct, to put a coil in the pipe. The more turns in the coil, the more movement it will allow without it fracturing as the two ends move about in relation to each other. Not as good as a proper flexible pipe, but better than nothing.

As it uses standard brake pipe, it would be easy enough to replace the too short to put a pig tail in pipe, with a longer one assuming you had access to a brake pipe flaring tool.

New Tazu master cylinder fitted, imagination maybe but it feels a tad lighter and a more positive feel, well recommended.
Replaced a plastic one which has lasted about 18 months from the last M/C change just hoping that the slave lasts.

I noticed the same thing - they feel excellent don't they!
So glad we're moving on from the plastic items. If only it was a few years ago, I'd be a good few hundred pounds better off!

I'm still waiting for those with baited breath - although to be honest, the need isn't as great as the Master cylinder - with those, LUK were the only manufacturer with no other option.

We have plenty of aftermarket Slave cylinders available - I've sold many of the Borg & Beck kits and haven't had a single one back as faulty in the whole time I've done so. Definitely a good sign...

When they arrive, I'll be pairing them up with Borg & Beck clutches as you'd expect. If you're fitting a long-lasting part, you want a decent clutch to match.
