I found out why the clutch on my new 77 Midget
won't bleed: There is a leak at the connection
just before the cylinder. It seems that there is
a solid pipe from the master to the tunnel. Then
there's a fitting and an elbow piece that screws
into the slave. It's the fittings on the elbow
piece that are leaking.
This appears to be a Swage-lok fitting. Is this
correct for the Midget 1500? I'm used to seeing
flared fittings on MGs I guess. I need to replace
it, but I need to know if Swage-lok is correct.
It appears to be home-made (poorly-cut pipe).
If not, I have a source for fittings of this type
at work and could make a new one. I'll have to
find out if these are suitable for brake fluid
(they're used for refrigerant).
Thanks.
