Hi Bob,
Do I have advice for you. My car was bought in pieces. I ran into all kind of
problems until I figured this one thing out. The tubing that goes to the slave
cylinder fits and hooks right up to the slave unit. It even feels good and
tight but don't hook it up directly on the slave. The later Sprites have a
rubber hose attached to the slave cylinder. then the hose connects with a
copper washer. This will keep you from loosing your clutch in the middle of
nowhere. Lying in the dirt repairing a bad connection is no fun. It took me
about a years worth of driving to figure this out. But remember I got my BE in
a box completely disassembled. The manuals don't cover this conversion.
Since then I have converted to a 5 speed trans. What a difference this made.
I now climb the Altamont pass at 75MPH with no problems. The engine even likes
it. I can cruse down the road at normal speeds on the freeway.
Cheers
