Default M8

Hi Malcolm,

That would be the restoration of my M8 you have seen. Has the clutch on yours ever worked properly?

I to was surprised at the size of the hydraulic tubing for the clutch. As you are probably aware, the clutch slave cylinder on the M8 is quite chunky, and quite a bit bigger than the slave cylinder for the throttle. The throttle uses 3/8" hydraulic tubing though so with the lines on your clutch being even smaller than that at 5/16" doesn't seem quite right. Perhaps the line size simply doesn't allow sufficient volume of fluid to be pushed through to activate the slave cylinder?
