Cheers, that's tomorrow afternoon sorted out then.

Thanks

Okay, I beg your pardon I think I may have been a little tipsy when I posted that. I actually replaced the clutch slave cylinder, not the master. I'm not suggesting the two are linked more just trying to set the scene. When the van was garaged there wasn't a problem with the brakes, now after the sl...

I've recently replaced the master cylinder, the van hasn't moved for a few weeks, then first time I drive it after the master cylinder op, the brakes aren't working at all. Is it possible that the work I done has affected the brakes?

Thanks all

lovely, thank you.

3 tonne axle stands, will they hold my van up without any problems?

Many thanks peeps.

Where the bloody hell is the slave cylinder? I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment!

thanks peeps

Do I need a bleed kit or will a jam jar and pipe suffice?

Thanks.

Thanks mate, I'll try that and let you know how I get on, annoyingly I won't get another chance now till next weekend.

There was no resistance before is tripped the master, I was told that with that problem that was a sensible first thing to look at. I guess next is to bleed it then take a look at the slave. There's no obvious leak.
Thanks for the advice so far.

That's next on my list but I was told that getting to the slave can be a bit of a bitch? Was hoping someone would suggest something really simple.
With regards to bleeding it would that not make the clutch feel spongey? I can't put the van in gear at all?

Cheers.

Hi all, sorry if this has been covered but I haven't found the answer. I've got no resistance when I put my foot on the clutch pedal. I've got a 1981 2ltr. I've had the master cylinder off, stripped, cleaned and put back on and it doesn't seem to have made a jot of difference. Any ideas would be app...

Thanks all, some really useful stuff in the replies.

Now I'd better get working on it!

I've got a few areas of rust on my van and want to treat them until the time is right (I've got the money) to get them sorted properly, I was recommended Finnegan's rust beater and understand that is now part of the Hammerite range, can someone confirm if that's the best thing to use and let me know...

I've got an '81 Westy Joker and when it was painted previously the decals were removed and not replaced. Sorry I can't help, but I'd appreciate the dimensions of all of the decals you've got please.

Cheers

I'm hoping we have at least one Joker owner on here? If so would you mind please measuring the decals on the on the doors and side panels and sending me the measurements. I have a joker but the stickers were removed for a respray some time ago and one of the wonderful 80-90 community is looking into...
