Can anyone tell me what master I should be using with a Saab concentric clutch slave? If important, I am using floor-mounted pedals from Tilton Engineering (part #72-680). I will be using a Tilton 75 series master, but am unsure of the correct bore. For reference, see:

Tilton

Go to Products > Brake > Pedal Assemblies > 600-Series Pedal Assemblies for fix mounted master cylinders > Floor Mount > 3 Pedal 3 cyl

There are technical drawings there, as well.

Thanks,
Shaun

for a saab 900 slave cylinder, the 0.75 master cyl works very well

cheers

it will fit over a type 9 input, yes, but you need to make/buy an adaptor.

I made this one:

ooooh crap, sorry!!

I have told you wrong, mental block, hope you haven't ordered yet!!!

I've used a 0.75" cyl!!

I've changed the other post as well to avoid confusion, but its 0.75"!

I take it thats just the alloy adapter you made...?

Any dimensions...? What does it bolt to..?

Cheers

yep,

bolts to the 4 bolts that hold the "trumpet" onto the front of the std type 9 box.

I machined off the long release bearing sleeve on the trumpet, then machined a decent register onto the stub left behind, then turned a lump of ally to sit on that register, then concentrically tidied the whole lot up, then bored a hole in the front to locate the saab cylinder and retain the rear of the piston, then drilled it all to fit the 4 holes on the box and the 3 on the cylinder.

alternatively you can buy them from burton I think

No problem -- I haven't ordered yet. One of the few times that the 8-hour time difference came in handy!

One problem, though. I ha been told that my setup was from a Saab, but it looks different than the picture that you show.

Can anyone help me identify what I have? It was re-sold by a dealer in the USA, but was apparently made by Titan. You can see the slave here:

Thanks for the help!

Yours looks very similar to mine - Photo

Which is similar to the ones that Burtons sell - Photo

They also sell adaptors - https://www.burtonpower.com (Transmission & Clutch - Clutch Components - Hydraulic)

I adapted an aluminium spacer ring to suit.

Hi,the release bearing looks like a SAAB but the slave definately is aftermarket as has been said.

The SAAB fits both the type 9 Ford and T50 Toyota easily and adaptors are easily machined or bought for both.
I agree with NSDev as I also use a 7/8" master with floor mounted pedals,plenty of travel and its easy to push.

Same in my T50

CairB,

Yours does look very similar. Do you know that origin? Apparently, mine was made by Titan. Also, what MC are you using?

Hmmm, so far, we have a 7/8" and a 3/4". Still not sure...

Thanks for any more input.

Shaun

Either will do the trick, 7/8" will give a slightly stiffer pedal, 3/4" will have a slightly longer travel, either will work.

Thanks to everyone for all the info. One other question: I am assuming that the bleed line should be the one exiting straight up from the slave?

Thanks,
Shaun
