Hydraulics are the devils work... thats why

The CBO3 bracket should be correct for a left hand fork.

First picture of a HK 327 with an 11" (Truck) bellhousing which is slightly different to the 11" passenger car bellhousing. It uses a CBO3 bracket. The slave cylinder is genuine Holden. The throw out fork was cast by Ingersol in Melbourne but had no provision for a return spring so this one has had a piece added for the return spring - that's why it looks weird (but it works well).

Looking at your photo, it would appear that you have a right hand clutch fork cylinder - the bleeder and fluid line should be at the top. You could try turning the cylinder up the other way, but even then, I don't think it will work properly because the lug for attaching the fork return spring would then be against the bellhousing.



This photo is of a early genuine HK327 with right hand fork - that's why I think your cylinder is a version of this one. If you get your cylinder and dummy fit it to the right hand side, with the bleeder at the top like this one and the return spring lug will be on the outside, which is how it should be.


This photo is of a PBR Cylinder that will fit a left hand fork - if you try to put this one on the right hand side, you end up with the same problem as you have now.


I don't know if this PBR Part No is still current but here is a picture of the part no of the cylinder in the third photo:



This is hard to put into words but the other important thing I noticed in your photo is that the body of the cylinder, when oriented the way you have it there, is not supported properly by the bracket. If you have a close look at my first picture you can see that the cylinder is fully supported by the bracket whereas the way you have yours at present means the bulk of the cylinder bore is in free space - ie is sticking out way past the bracket. You can perhaps get a better idea of this point from my last photo below which shows a cylinder sitting in the correct orientation against a Left hand fork bellhoousing on a Dellow bracket

P4519 is standard EK slave cylinder as far as I am aware, would hope Repco would have them?

Hope you get it sorted

As above your slave is definitely upside down, mine is driver side so I can't really be any more helpful but I will say that the CRS adapter is pretty crummy and needs washers/shims to get it in the right spot anyway

Nothing new about having to modify CRS gear to make it do what they say it will!!!!!

Hi

I think that if you swap slave cylinder P5841 for a P4519 as Knockum has used, you will be fine,

Incorrect slave cylinder supplied, worth a try at least I would think,

2door350 ,

Unfortunately I can't help you much with Ingersol - They were an engineering / fabrication outfit that supplied Super Plus speed shop with cast iron clutch forks and slave cylinder brackets for chev conversions when ' S P ' was in Bennett street , Dandenong many moons ago .

I have no idea if Ingersol is still in business .

Hi 2door350, what ratio M22 did you purchase?

[debkar]

Good result, pain about the rest of the work that shouldn't have needed to be done if the parts were correct to start with

Regards Simon
