That looks a cracking piece of kit.

The engineering on that is first class, reminds me of the kit fitted to aircraft.

Hi.
Indeed a nice piece of engineering.
I wonder how it will compare with the Tazu master?
I fitted a TAZU to COA. The main issue with it is the outlet pipe and the angle it goes through the bulkhead, I'm sure on that the copper pipe could be a failure overtime as its hard to stop it abrading on the edge of the hole, this problem also tends to transmit some noise to the bulkhead, other than that I find the TAZU OK.

They do look the part - and the pipework issue being sorted will be a plus.
I've just been to check mine, and I managed to get the copper pipe well away from the bulkhead - however it's quite a tight bend.

I've seen the Master that Andy has had made somewhere else before - I'm trying to rack my brains as to where. It's good he's got them put together for production

Not wishing to seem unappreciative of the work that's been done, but would it be further improved if this master cylinder had a remote reservoir so future maintenance is easier...

I've always thought a remote reservoir would be good, however you have to balance this with the mounting of a reservoir and running of additional pipework.
On balance, the original reservoir is OK as long as the rest of the system is reliable.

Hi.
Now where have I heard that before on a 75

Cooling system seems to come to mind!

if the clutch system did not leak you would not need a remote resoviour and this is why we are trying to solve the problem i have spend weeks on this and feel a reliable system will be achieved one day
