"Slightly" Modified Slave Bracket

I ever so slightly modified p) my slave bracket today, but it will never come off in traffic again like it did during rush hour yesterday!

Picture below, the threaded part is an exhaust clamp (89p halfrauds) the other half gets put on after the slave and clamps around it, when put together its rock solid.

A bit rough and a lot of overkill perhaps but it beats that plastic lego clip Landrover fitted.

Methos

Looks good - what size is the clamp?

Its a 38mm, the smaller ones fit but the 38 had longer threads which were still a bit short hence the block below the clamp.

A couple of bolts welded in place or threaded bar would have been quicker and easier I guess but it was quick bodge job, the cable ties holding it together last night until i got home wouldn't go very much further.

When mine came off, the ring of "plastic" that holds it in place on the other side of the C clip completely snapped doh off the top end of the slave so this saved me £70 replacing the master/slave unit too.

pickies of it fitted?

Not very clear but you get the idea

The back plate tacks all the weight (instead of the front of the slave) and the clamp holds it firmly in place.

Not very tidy or cut neater but it was a bish bash bosh job...

good job

My HD cable tie is still holding after a roadside repair, that was 2yrs ago

Good idea, I'm gonna try that on mine. My slave cylinder flaps around like a dick in a top hat due to the plastic clip being bollocksed so I reckon your mod will improve my pedal feel no-end. Cheers!

That's got to be a print for a T-shirt right there!

Thats a bloody good mod that is. Unfortunately the cable ties don't work for all of us or at least didn't last time my bracket and slave cylinder broke!

dam and blast i wish id read this 4 week ago cost me £70 for new slave ILL BE PULLING IT OFF AGAIN GET THE WELDER OUT THANKS FOR THIS IMFO

Can this be made a sticky please?

How much would you be willing to make another for?

I don't have anywhere to weld and even if i did, i'd have to buy a welder and learn first.
