Subject: [Spridgets] Slave Cylinder Question

One of our list members just sent me a very nice rib cage for a very
generous price. . . he also included a slave cylinder which is larger than
the one I have been using.   It has a rubber type hose coming off the end.

Since I have been having trouble burning out throw-out bearings far too soon
I am wondering if this beefier slave cylinder should be the one I am using
with the rib case.  . as opposed the smaller one that had originally
been used with the smooth case?

How do I convert to the larger cylinder.   The smaller cylinder is a direct
connect to the metal tubing.  I need a piece that would allow my metal
tubing to connect either directly into the larger opening or to the hose
that is coming off the end.

I can send a pic of the larger slave cylinder, but I am sure that most of
you know what I am talking about.

Is there a chance that the larger cylinder was used with the 1500?  The rib
case is from the early 70's. .  I am guessing a 72 or a bit later on.   I
am totally unfamiliar with the 1500 powered cars.

I will take my answers off the air.

Thanks!
